Featured Rocket Something For Cerberus Part Four

So, if these REALLY are for panniers, where ARE you going to mount the optics?
Or is that in part 5?

 

Now you are encouraging him!

 

He dont need or use optics or even a glass @RIDGE Normally straight from the bottle, (Makem supporter)

 

Having to make two of everything can be quite challenging to get them the same
Held the two bits of flat bar together with mole grips for marking out and drilling then put them in my vice for shaping and filing
I don’t have any fancy tools
But I’ve got my trusty lump hammer
Used an old tow ball and the lump hammer to get the desired shape

 

Wor lass went shopping tonight while I was in the garage
Brought this in for me as well as a few bottles of that lovely IPA that I like
So I intend to crack on and get as much done as I can tomorrow and Friday before having a pretend night at the pub (back garden) on Friday night

 

Cracking job, getting that curve.

 

You are getting good at this mate, nice job

 

Some subtle adjustments done
With my lump hammer

 

What no picture of the lump hammer

 

Still got some tidying up to do
But nearly there

 

Getting there Dilli, Be interesting to see how much movement/flex you get once pannier fitted and loaded.
PS - Please dont check with full bottles of JD, for now empty's will do.

 

When the pannier mounting plate is screwed into place and everything is tightened up its solid
Gotta take it all apart for paint but I’m chuffed to bits with how it’s turned out so far

 

You should be

 

That is looking like a proper professional job @dilligaf , how much do you reckon you have saved against triumph oem parts?

 

Yep looking good marra that plate really helps strengthen it even more, great job took your time though

 

Well over a grand mate
The Triumph system was £1305
Costs so far for me
£124 for a welder
Less than £20 for a auto weld mask
About £25 for some paint and other stuff
I already had the boxes that I bought for less than £20 each

 

Full scale production next think of the JD you could buy

 

What a fine example of a well loved Yorkshireman's Tweezer! Just right for those delicate/intricate jobs!

 

Can we have a video of the wet paint next please?
