Featured Rocket Something For Cerberus Part Four

Might as well make a start on part four for CERBERUS
Have these left over from that cantilever toolbox that I dismantled Picked the sizes I reckon will do the job and attached them to the already drilled holes in something for CERBERUS part two
Feckin hell ......me?.....thinking ahead hard to believe And yes welding will be involved

 

It's great how you fabricate whatever you need. I am a designer and frequently do the same, but metal working is beyond me. Perhaps one day...

 

Cheers mate
I wish I could be better at the design side of things as I would get these kind of jobs done a lot quicker

 

Measured then knocked into shape in the vice with a lump hammer Fitted to CERBERUS
These are being done on both sides of the bike

 

A set of matching shoe horns perhaps?

 

With the metal so thin - how are you going to stop pannier flex which may cause contact with the wheel on banking?

 

It’s not finished yet by a long shot

 

Ooh I love having my own welder
Best £124 I’ve spent in a long time

 

HA HA whilst I agree them bits are thin you cant blame @dilligaf for normally chosing light thin grade steel, normally its bits left over from the town's old shipyards but on this ocasion its using up what he has.
FTFY

 

Rocket launchers?

 

And its paid for itself already judging by Triumph prices

 

The two dome head bolts show where I’m gonna mount the lower brackets for the side panniers
Got loads of measuring and working out to do yet though

 

Re-fitted the undertray and gonna have to attack it from the top side so I get the hole in the right place on the underneath

 

This is the mounting point I’ll be using as seen from the top
Meant I had to remove everything that I’ve made so far to get access to it

 

Nearly dropped a big bollock
After putting the undertray back on the bike I was gonna sharpen a piece of threaded bar and drive it through the undertray so the holes would be in the right place
The bar wouldn’t pass through
Was just about to drill it when I thought I’d better have another look
So Feckin glad I did
The mount I was gonna use underneath is about an inch in front of the hole I was looking at at the top
Back to the drawing board

 

Getting a bit fed up of putting the Feckin undertray on and off
But now using the rearmost mounting like I planned in the first place
That’s why it was so important to get part one for CERBERUS right in the first place
Anyway problem solved by passing a drill right through the mount and through the undertray

 

Using my hole cutter to make the pilot hole in the undertray big enough for this tube to fit through

 

Getting there
Slowly but surely
Getting a bit fed up now so think I’ll get cleaned up and retire to the back garden and celebrate VE Day

 

I love watching threads like this

Hats off to you

I’ve had a few days off from this as I misplaced my motivation supplements
Started making these bobbins yesterday and after a lot of trial and error finally settled on this design and got them finished this morning These attach to the Underneath of the bobbins I made in something for CERBERUS part one
after cutting suitable dome head bolts I’m now ready to fabricate the lower pannier mounts
