I need my bottle mounted upside down (tube removed) in front of my rear tire. I know something could be welded on, but I did not want to have to take my swing arm off for this if I could help it, and I’d have to find someone that could do it.
It was mounted there by the previous owner, but it was a strap type mount, and he only used one, and it had some play forward and back (bottle swinging a bit because of only one strap) and one side of the strap mount broke off, so then it was really swinging. Right now I took the whole thing off, and also see that he just drilled and tapped the 2 bolt holes that were holding it on. That does not seem very sturdy as the aluminum is not very thick, so you really could not tighten this very much.
I did do some looking, but so far I have found:
Things that require extensive welding to the swing arm
Mounts that put the bottle upright, and don’t lend themselves to being able to flip it
Mounts that state they should not hold the weight of the bottle.
So any ideas?
BTW factory swing arm with extensions.
