Swingarm Toolbag Mount
The bag sets higher than the exhaust. You'd have to be leaning heavily before that bag will touch the ground.
Making a bracket mount for a leather tool bag. Bracket was made from 1/8“ thick aluminum and some misc chrome hardware. An angle was cut on the front end. 7) | ||
Bracket shaped with a hand file, and holes drilled for mounting to the swingarm. 8) | Holes also drilled to mount the bracket to the bag. 9) | Edges rounded with a file, bracket wet sanded with 320/400/1500 grit paper respectively and then hand polished. 10) |
Final fitting to mark a hole on the rear side at the swingarm. 11) | The hole was then drilled and tapped. 12) | The bag mounting holes in the bracket were partially counter bored to allow clearance between the hardware and swingarm. 13) |
Assembling bracket to bag. 14) | Inside the bag, large flat washers, lock washers and nylocks. 15) | Bag mounted with chrome buttonheads, spacers and Loc-tite. 16) |
If after the bag gets broken in and it sort of flops over, you can add some metal flat stock inside the bag to keep it rigid. 17) |
