Here's a bodge I robbed from somewhere else (so can neither take the blame or any credit Very Happy ) that might be useful to the Barmouth mob?

Due to enduro bike's not usually carrying luggage, everything you try to attach anything to is always in the wrong place, too hot, moves or made of plastic!

So ordered 4 of these in M6 and M8 to suit a CRF

Cut them to the right length, and using a few washers screw them in, in place of the seat and side panel bolts

Attach, bungee etc your luggage where hopefully it'll now stay - or if you're Gatesy lash a few carrier bag's on with some old shoe laces  lol!

Next job must be lash a bit of stick and a tennis ball full of arse paper to the bars then.......... Very Happy

Did a KTM rider really just say that to a Honda rider?
Or are you on the piss already! Shocked

I thought that last year!

Until i started looking for somewhere to put a lock and chain, tools inc. a spare tube, dry gloves, socks T shirt etc for day two.
And then realised i'd have a choice of waterproof trousers and Sidi Crossfires, pants and bare feet or carry a pair of trainers and jeans to wear in the pub!

But everyone to thier own i suppose  Very Happy

A single 6 mill stud up underneath the seat where all the shit can get to it, Fab eh, I suppose they were thinking of the extra weight if they'd have used 2 bolts.
I think Velcro would have been a better idea.
