Heres what i have been up to today..........

Stripped the back end out of the bike and ended up with this....


Thought i could make it a bit easier to fit my home made bars.....



Drilled two holes, (starting small, then endidng up with these 13mm ones).......



Got the Dremmel out to join the holes up........



21x3mm pipe....... Its an arse to bend but is thicker then the frame tube so should last forever.



Bent to 90 degrees, then welded solid for about the last half inch......



Ground flush, then washer welded on. (I might grind the washers off again, as they look out of place once pipe is fitted to bike, Let me know what you think?)



Drilled out, than tapped to M10 thread..........






Fitted to the bike........
















I have made enough for 4 sets, one for me, one for a friend. And two for any one who is interested. They will come in two versions, a simple bar to keep you soft luggage out of the back wheel, (much like the pics,) And the Crusty Desert, Pikey traveller version For more luggage carrying capacity. This version is still being finalised so keep watching........

Cut pipes, with footpeg brackets to be drilled and welded on.......



Bad light stopped play, so more to come tomorrow.......
