Tool & Tyre Kit Storage
Insipred by OGR and I think SteveD's posts on hanging stuff off the side of the tank, I found a use for a couple of cordura bags I had off a Hi-Tech rucksack.
The weight is supported by the steel pin that sits behind the tank side protectors and the frame. The fixing to the plastic guards at the front is just to stop them flopping around: Inside each one I have a 3ltr drybag, Tool roll on the exhaust side and tyre kit, inner tube and a few odds and sods on the other side. The outside of the plastic cover over the exhaust pipe doesnt appear to get that hot and as it only tools inside then i think it will be ok. Nick. |

Nice work NickW909. I was also thinking about where best to put the tools. When I had luggage strapped on the passenger seat, it would be a pain to reach the toolkit under the seat. Others have a nice toolpack from TT or other brands strapped on the rear-rack. My current idea is to use the rear-rack from TT or SW-Motech, but extend the height by inserting the long spacers, so it would create space underneath the rack where I would put the toolbag, whereas I could still strap another bag on top of the rack. I would get a bag that is accessible on the sides through zippers/foldups on the sides, so I wouldn't need to unstrap it each time I need to get to the tools. Still, it is just a concept at the moment.
