Under the crash bar/radiator as per my pic or under the exhaust covers either side.

Not sure if I am happy with it yet. The fixings will need to be beefed up prior to loading and it does stick out a bit on the right.
Another problem is that it will need removing for an oil change but it is at a low and central level for weight.

Always considered a tooltube but havent found a nice place to put it.

Nice horn, what kind of horn is it?
Isnt it getting damaged by mud/water?

I took off the silencer covers to examine the brackets underneath. I don't think they are strong enough to use as mounting for a tool tube and the associated contents.

went to my local DIY shop today and they only sell PVC tube by 3m and very large diameter.
and they didn't had any "endings"

I had a play mounting the tool tube in the same place as Old Git Ray but IMHO it's too low (compared to where I had it on the F650GS twin) and it liable to get knocked off on the first serious piste.

Looks like a Stebel Magnum, I have one too fitted in the same way, nice and loud and no problems yet in over 8000miles of use..

I went to the local B&Q and although they had more pvc tube, they had none over 3cm diameter -_-

looks like I'll have to go to another shop again :p
