Farkling with rubber tubing...

[kitped]

Great idea and well executed, can't believe I missed this thread originally. I have a set if Held soft panniers so will be making a set if these up myself....

Had ace fun doing this today. Took a while to find some hose and I could only find clear braided in the end but I'm really happy with how it ended up.

It took a fair amount of WD-40 to get the bar into the hose. Then for bending I dug out the old vice that came in the house and after much hunting for a guide pipe I had to use an old rotary washing line!


Like others there was a lot of offering up involved and I ended up redesigning the exhaust side so I need another bracket. However the side I finished is looking better than I could have hoped. And all for £12.

Bumped to help whoever it was find this thread (and because I'm quite proud that these things are inspiring everyone).

Under £5.00!...but very time consuming

Must give a big thanks for this post.
Really great work. Here's my attempt to protect my panniers from the heat on my gsr600.
