ToolTube Mounting
Got these Tool Tubes (Fork Lift etc Operators manual holders) From a friend that imported a big batch to be used as tool tubes.
They are nice and sturdy and the importer had some nifty zip up baggies made that slide into each tube and keep your tools etc organized, I used some Ally and made up some brackets to mount them to the Ten. Works a treat, the 2 tubes carry my tools, patch kit, Gas bombs x 3, Jump Leads, Siphon hose and 1x 21" Tube, They can also carry a 750ml bottle of Scotch per tube :-) Jules Pics http://home.telkomsa.net/edgepc/tenere/goosetube1.JPG http://home.telkomsa.net/edgepc/tenere/goosetube2.JPG http://home.telkomsa.net/edgepc/tenere/goosetube3.JPG http://home.telkomsa.net/edgepc/tenere/goosetube4.JPG http://home.telkomsa.net/edgepc/tenere/goosetube5.JPG http://home.telkomsa.net/edgepc/tenere/goosetube6.JPG http://home.telkomsa.net/edgepc/tenere/goosetube7.JPG http://home.telkomsa.net/edgepc/tenere/goosetube8.JPG http://home.telkomsa.net/edgepc/tenere/goosetube9.JPG |
Nice work Jules,
I did have a similar thought to you but my idea was to mount them off the pillion peg mounts where they connect to the bike frame and then run at the same angle of the bike frame, up towards the rear grab handles. In about 6 months keep an eye out on those pop rivets.... depending how much weight is in your tool canisters will depend on how long the rivets and alloy brackets hold up to the vibes of the bike/road surfaces. If one or the other.. or both! fail on you just..... do the same thing but in flat bar steel and nylock nuts/bolts, weight gain is minimal but stronger. Cheers Reg. |

Beat me to it, I noticed that would be the ideal place to mount them. Well done |
I did it like this:
some ordinary pipe, sealed from one side, cap on the other, one clamp to close safely the tool box... All together costed me around 12 €. http://www.shrani.si/t/3I/Bt/2aQQdesy/img1761.jpg http://www.shrani.si/t/46/az/3zCZIY4G/img1759.jpg I think it looks nice and works well. I just came from EnduRoMania and if it didnt fall of there, it will never. http://www.shrani.si/t/1r/WI/4iIce4I5/img1760.jpg |

TDMalcolm PS very neat job there lad |
thanks for the idea
just a different take on mounting one inch flat bar bolted accross i just re drilled the mounting points on the tube i figure this will be a stronger set up welding rod for the template and just bent the flat in a vice http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/5983/rodqs.jpg By minkyhead at 2010-12-06 http://img593.imageshack.us/img593/3097/rodbar.jpg By minkyhead at 2010-12-06 http://img580.imageshack.us/img580/8683/img14620.jpg By minkyhead at 2010-12-06 http://img530.imageshack.us/img530/851/img1467n.jpg By minkyhead at 2010-12-06 http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/8647/img1469t.jpg Uploaded with ImageShack.us http://img828.imageshack.us/img828/196/rear0.jpg |
Looks nice.
Also the scottoiler mount behind the license plate. |
if enough interest in these black tool tubes i can get these for between �12 & �14ea +P&P if enough people interested? Thats based on me buying 10 at a time & shipped from yankee land to the UK. Excludes fixings of course.!!
unless someone has got a load of them already i'd be interested in one myself. Please feel free to PM me if looks of any interest. |
I had one of these on my XR

Cheap enough and never let any water in! edit I forgot to disclose the source! here they are (many suppliers of these) |
seems to be 12 to 17 quid
got the fork lift truck ones here http://www.adventure-spec.com/shop/t.../prod_114.html covered the ends up with car wheel centre stickers from halfords only if your shallow like me .. i covered the outside stuff with a "peco" sticker i have no idea what it means but saved the painting bit i like thing to look nice before i dunk em full of mud ..i cant wait for the weather to break URL=http://img193.imageshack.us/i/img1470s.jpg/] http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/6775/img1470s.jpg[/url] http://img828.imageshack.us/img828/196/rear0.jpg By minkyhead at 2010-12-06 http://img230.imageshack.us/img230/4756/drz1.jpg By minkyhead at 2009-04-17 |

the frame nounted one seems a better bet but i thought id go with it and put a ally deflector to protect it from the rear wheel i do however have visions of bringing it home in the back box along with the lower mudguard im hope im wrong http://img543.imageshack.us/img543/6044/scotto.jpg Uploaded with ImageShack.us |

Mind you, if you're running the standard exhaust it's a very neat idea to have them mounted the way Jules and Minky have - and I presume they'd tuck in nicely behind the panniers if you had hard luggage fitted too? Maybe Adventure-Spec should make a a set of brackets themselves (as they sell the tubes already) for the Tenere? Jx |
