Hello everybody,it's been a long long time. Hope you are all doing well. Today was the day that I did my first (made by my hands) mode to my Vstrom 650xt. I bought that bike 10 months ago with the aim of traveling and enjoying it on all terrains. So far so good but recently I bought a drone and I love to take photos on my trips so I decided to carry it with me. In off road rides there is enough of vibration and I need to store it separete from my tools and other stuff that I carry in my tank bag, so a tail bag would do the work.
After some research i came up with the SW-MOTECH dry bag 80, a waterproof 8liter bag that works as a tail bag, crashbar bag, tank bag and shoulder bag too. It fits my drone with its controller and charger perfectly. My only problem was the down strap that was not stable on vstroms rack so I had to make two drivers.
They are made from scrap I had laying around so I weld them together and tried to make them as stealth as possible.
Painted the brackets black and voila. There they are, I hope the down strap stays stable on the bike so I don't have to turn back in any rought terrain to search for my drone. Thank you reading and support my work, till next time take care of your selfs.
Yeah I definitely need to get a motorcycle again one of these days especially with gas being through the roof however I'm not sure how my puppy dog is going to take traveling on a motorcycle.
I have seen people train a German Shepherd to ride a motorcycle.
Beautiful bike excellent modification!
Thank you my friend. Hope you get the perfect bike for your need and find a proper sollution to ride with your dog.
Very welcome and I hope you have an amazing day today.
Well done, for a self made part is actually quite stilysh and properly made, it seens you dedicated a lot of time to it, big hug bro and hope to see you again soon :D
Not quite a lot but I tried to do my best. As time passes and I'm learning mote about making things I hope I remake a better version.
