Tool Tube for Tiger 800 and XC

[CarlS]

Found this little mod on AdvRider

Prototype 1 Tool Tube
Made from 100mm PVC pipe
Wrapped in 3M stick on carbon fibre.
Painted end caps
400mm long.
Bolted to existing pannier mounts under rear subframe via bracket. Using premade heavy duty elbows that follow contour of round pipe, found in plumbers section at 'Bunnings', braced together with bit of flat. Bolted through tube with 5 mushroom head bolts...
Very sturdy with little movement. Yet to trial under loaded conditions on rougher roads...
If you don't plan to mount factory hard panniers, it fills in the naked side of the bike and matches up with exhaust. Will look even better when changed to an Arrow pipe....Also provides bit of support for soft or loop panniers?!?...

mounting to underside of rear subframe into existing factory threaded holes

Very nice looks like you could get a lot into it as well

Hithere CarlS,

Nice one m8; i did one just similar to u'res. Only can't find the 3M stick on carbon fibre just to say that mine it's still PVC colored and it's a bit bigger in lenght; 700 mm. Thinking on cut it to 400 mm though if the original idea still fit within that size . It's split in two part's; one to the extinguisher and the ther to the ToolsKit

Could u please give us the measures of the screws for the original drilling? Thank's CarlS

Catch u later friend,

I will see if I can find those measurements.

Nice work on the tube.
