bodge it n scarper heavy industries

[Chad]

after a ride to work in the pissing rain to march in cambs i decided ive had enough od the zumo being mounted to the left hand side of the bars. having to look down and left felt a bit unsafe in those conditions i decided i was going to get a mount for the 990

when pricing up and finding they were around £200

so it was time to get in the garage and play


this was the view before bodge it n scarper got the tools out



pop off the side panels and take off headlight and screen assembly




expose the clock mount with very convenient mount point


make and fit support bracket behind clocks



fit steel inserts to keep plastics independant



fit top bracket with zumo mount





check power supply



plastics and screen back on



the final view much safer easy to see at a glance and it keeps the zumo out of the elements




thats saved me a pretty penny:ni ke:

When you & Chunk finally get together - we're not going to see you out of the shed for months

Dude, I Soooooooo need a garage!

Cracking job though Chad.

Just gotta wonder what that mounting point is for though eh? (as in the original bit - seems a bit odd a whacking gert bit of metal with 4 pre-drilled holes in just sat there - must has some purpose?)

So what you going to do with the £200 you've just saved then?

I was thinking same thing the other day when watching some old repeats of SC - I reckon a team of some XRVers would do well on there.

Chad, nice work man!

Would have to get a V-twin engine of some sort into what contraption they were asked to build, obviously.


Nice neat piece of work by the way.
