Good project bike

[AllanB]

Not mine

Spotted when doing the old TM wander ......


$6 k not a bad price for a bitchen bobber project (or whatever). Strip off the crap, I could rattle can a decent paint job (time and care with the can can give a good job) reckon a grand tops in play money could convert it into a conversation piece.

PS bike trailers WTF I don't get them.

Maybe the tow ball is for a dog box or a bicycle rack?

Bike rack is something I would like for the bandit.

Ha - that would be a sight. Never seen one!


But the tow ball would surely have to be ditched, no self respecting stripped down bar-hopper would wear one.

A Bandit on the other hand ....

Ah shit - I just had to Google 'motorcycle with bike rack'

Why I ask, why - so presuming you only have your motorcycle, want to cycle somewhere remote ish when you get there ready to cycle - where do you put you motorcycle gear?

OK most images appeared 'american' - they only wear T-shirts on their bikes anyway!

And with the image below I cannot help (I tried) but is the cycle a reserve for when the HD strands the rider?

Not that hard to make. Just means I have to drop the top box and run panniers. Just bolt a roof rack mount to the top box mount.

Shouldn't be to hard to sew a pocket onto a bike bag to use with your pack rack?
Or weld up something that goes into your rack brackets. It would have to hold vertically and a couple of wheel holders.
Rack would be better.
But a bike bag would be easier.

Scooter below is by far my favourite set-up.

The other one is just to prove you can't keep a good bike down

Maybe the tow ball is supposed to be a seat for the less self respecting really goer?
Maybe that is what chaps are for?

Tied to your to box? Lose a pillion seat but?

Or add some material between the two halves so you can use as saddlebags?

This is more my original idea:

That one above on the back of the top box works well.

A BMW one - just to show BMW riders have to do it better - two bikes.

And a cycle and surfboard I found. Not a motorcycle but I really like the colours in the image.

Off the shelf solution. Seems to mount to underside of your top box mounting plate.

Let's go camping she said. It'll be fun she said. Well rough it, travel light, live off the land she said.
