Hi Colros,
I am not actually fitting the pannier rails, just using the mounting point to fit my own design pannier rails to. They are made up of a 20mm threaded tube tightened up with a bolt coming through the mounting hole on the frame from the inside.

I think they also make very sturdy crash bars as well.............................................. .................................................. .............................................and we all know who needs those!:applause:

Cheeky ******!!!!
Thinking of mountings seed drills on the rear edge of the bars, so i can re-sow the grass as i go sliding along the green lane....

Stop messing around on the 'puter, get 'em finished and show us the pics. Are you adding extras for breaking rocks etc????????:pjrlaugh_61OD3G:

Will you be painting them a sort of mud / green colour?:gayfight:

Have been waiting for "Machine Mart" to open as i have killed the stone on my bench grinder..... Would anyone be interested in these? As i have bought too much tube for what i need.

After Steve D`s "telling off" i got off the PC and out in the garage again......

Went to Machine Mart to get a new bench grinder, then spent far too long removing the washers and dressing up the pipes......

Fitted each set of tubes to the bike to get the correct measurments........

Tubes look a LOT better without the washers, so i think to effort of grinding them off was worth it.......

Welded footpeg brakets to bottoms of frame rails.......

Thats the basic model sorted, going to have a look at the Pikey traveller upgrade tomorrow.

Looking very good. Incidentally it looks as though you have offered up the piping to the plate at the foot rest end to tack weld into position. Did you disconnect the battery before welding? I only ask as I have heard of persons having problems with the current getting into the 'System' and frying delicate circuitry. I intend to remove the screen to weld a small plate onto the bar above the instruments in order to secure my GPS there and don't want to take the front end off to do this. I will similarly use my MIG welder.
The frames look very sturdy. I will call Simon and see if he wants a pair.

Blinking heck Mark, you are getting serious now, you have even got tyre warms fitted to the rear tyre. Are they from Lidls :mbounce:

nice job, very tidy! pity yamaha did not give us easy way to fit and tighten a nut on the inside bit!

a very simple solution, cool job!

Cheers for the comments guys. Have refitted the seat to get an idea of where my army rucksack panniers are going to sit on the bike then i will sort out the brackets for the removable "stuffa bag" holders. 2x 60LTR bags on the side of the bike and one 90LTR bag across the back seat. Should be enough room for all my weekend beer and a jar of pickled eggs........ (dont get me started about pickled bloody eggs.....) Ask Steve D what they did to me in Wales with pickled eggs:Suspicious_DXD5FP:
