I'm with you on this one, my bike is my transport, not a toy, i've tried tank bags, rucksacks and tying stuff to the seat and it's just a bloody nuisance.
I actually prefer a bit of weight over the rear tyre as well for a tiny bit more down force in dodgy weather.

Nice touch Noggers.

Chris

It wouldn't be fun if it was easy, I just wish it wasn't this much fun.

I like those wee side flaps hiding the spark plugs. Are they easy enough to remove for access to change the plugs?

Just cut outs from my front fairing.




Bolt i to the rad & a bolt into the upper, easy to remove.


Yet to see how they cope with a bit of turbulence though.

Heres mine with newly fitted Blue Flame end can. I really recommend them. Sounds fabulous and cheapest one is £150 delivered. They are made to order so be prepared to wait!

Cheers!  :D
 Took me ages to find one as good as this. Was totally standard when I got it with 15k on the clock. Rides like new, love it.

Is the rear bolt on the belly pan held on with a cable tie?

S**t, forgot about that!  :rolleyes
Thanks for pointing it out. I was supposed to make a new bracket for it because ones supplied were crap.
Off to my shed to put it right!

Now that's a cracking bit of engineering there Nash, looks really well!! A word of advice though buddy.

Being an ex-engineer I make racks for my bikes, and have done for years. You really need to connect the front of the rack to the grab handle by some means, or the arms at the last angle welded will fracture due to metal fatigue as the box bounces up and down when you ride.
Just ride behind another bike with a box on, and watch the bugger bounce, then you'll see why!!

Best of luck with it, and good job!!
Stop polishing it and ride the bloody thing!!
