Featured Rocket Something For Cerberus Part Five

Hopefully this won’t take me too long
As I have no intention of signing up for the Triumph app and trying all that blue tooth malarkey for navigating I dug out my phone holder that I occasionally used on NUDGER
The clamp for it is big enough to go round the bars on CERBERUS
But the only straight bit of the bar which would be ideal is where the wiring disappears into the handle bar So I’m gonna make a small plate which will mount on the two switchgear bolts Using the top hat spacers from the first picture I found some suitable bolts that just needed shortening a bit This way nothing touches anywhere and is easily reversed back to standard

 

Nah you’re alright mate I’ll stick with what I know
Besides it seems like every week someone starts a thread about problems they’re having with this wizardry kinda stuff
Hardly ever use my phone as a sat nav and when I do I only need to look at it
I don’t need it talking in my ear and wouldn’t want to talk on the phone while I’m riding

 

Gotta cut a hole in the plate so this passes through and can be bolted in place marked out and used my hole cutter to start off with now the holes are done I can pass a junior hacksaw blade through and cut the majority of it out Doing it this way means that I can keep the original form of the ultimate add ons phone mount and it can be re used at a future date

 

Some filing to be done Happy so far
Drill some bolt holes and it should be good for the phone mount to attach Fits like a glove
Need to mark out for the bike mounting bolts and probably more cutting so that nothing touches the bike

 

So I’m gonna have to slim down the mounting plate where it fixes to the bike This is the final shape
Lots of filing and sanding to get it ready for paint My new paint booth setup in the front garden
Allowing me to watch the paint dry while I enjoy a well earned mug of coffee

 

All done
The first two pictures are what I will just leave on CERBERUS
When I’m sitting on the bike the angle means it’s hardly noticeable and blends in nicely With the phone holder mounted not looking forward to parts Six and seven
These two are gonna be big projects with lots of trial and error thrown in
Probably be lots of swearing

 

I think part seven will be the tow bar but I’ve not convinced myself that it’s doable
Doesn’t mean I’m not gonna try though

 

Oops
Just realised I’ve been getting ahead of myself and this IS PART FIVE
Apologies
