Tiger Tool tube fitted.

[outrunner]

Here are a couple of piccies showing the tool tube mounted on the Tiger.

Quite an easy fit, just cut off the bottom mounting on the tube so that it clears the chainguard (on the Tiger at least, other bikes may differ.) then round it all off smooth with a bench grinder, use white spirit to remove the garish yellow writing that is on the tube, spray to your chosen colour and then fit. Front mount is just a modified conduit clip. The rear mounting is fitted to an L bracket bolted to the Pannier stay on the footrest hanger. This lets it sit low enough so you can still get your hand on to the hanger to pull the bike on to the centrestand.


Now all I need to do is fill it with junk I will never use!

Oops, forgot to mention that there is a drain hole just below the lid so you will need to fill that in unless you want to collect water!
I used a sliver of material cut from the removed bottom bracket, jammed it in the hole then flattened it outside and in with a soldering iron, instant seal!

Andy,

Perfect fit on the Tiger, I was wondering myself about colour coding them!!

Good job

What about a matching one for the other side!!!

Err, I don't think so Jason 'cos there's a bloody great silencer on there!

I guess that's a good enough reason
