Another weekend project

[omslaw]

Well, today was a nice day and after painting Violet's frame yesterday, I decided that I'd work on the trailer a bit...

In the trailer, I've been mounting my stands to the floor up in the nose. It's worked, but it has also taken away floor space. Shawn found a company that makes some mounting brackets for stands and has 'em in his trailer. After seeing them, I figured that I could make something similar... So, for about $20 in materials, I made a couple holders and then a third for the "headstock adapter" for my front stand.






Now I have free space up front...but I'm already thinking about how I can use that. LOL

Easy to do, John! You can get all the stuff at Lowe's or Home Depot. I also "painted" the hooks and U-channel with 'Plasti-Dip' to keep it from scratching the stands (not that they aren't already scratched. LOL)

U-channel, 1/4"-20 threaded rod, some wing nuts, hooks

I don't meant to sound like a jerk, but why do you have a trailer for your bike? Is it a track bike?

It's not a dedicated track bike, but I do take it to the track. Plus I like to travel to meets, etc.

That makes a little sense to me. But riding to your meets would sound even better

 

[MC MUSTANG]

Cause he can't carry all the tools and such in his hump...

 

[u n v kenny]

That makes sense too... I was just asking

And I also do ride to them. Just depends on what's going on...

Heh, yeah, that's what got me to make 'em; figured that I could do it a little cheaper...
