A round of drinks for those workers of metal out there, something I'm
definately not. But hell, why should that stop me. My first project is
going to be what most would likely consider extremely easy. I'm going to
pull the back seat off the bike and I want to install a rack in order to
mount an auxiliary gas tank
why reinvent the wheel when you already have a good start on the bike. i
would fabricate a mount that i could weld to my tank that would bolt onto
that seat mount and clamp onto your existing grab handles for added
support.
I thought about that, my concern is that the seat mount is a bit far
forward. If I'm back in the seat I can feel the rubber hand loop at my
back. Perhaps I need to consider putting a backrest into the mix. When I
get a chance I'll take some better pictures dismantle the reat seat to see
what options that opens up.
if you wanna spend a couple of days in the road driving down to the s.e. i
bet we could fabricate something that would work well and look nice in
just a couple of hours. i even have a bunch of tractor fuel tanks and i
bet one of them would not only work but look really cool.
I'd ride down but it would take too long cause of all the gas stops. <g>
