Title: Stuff to look at
Post by: cymarcbikeparts on September 24, 2013, 15:41:41: Dear All, hopefully this will build into a thread where I can show you the stuff I make (if you want to buy it you don't have to!) but just as importantly a thread where you blokes can tell me what you want and help with very important opinions and feedback so whatever I do its as good as it can be. I`m happy to help anyone also - I simply don't do what I do for financial gain (but it helps...........).

I`m happy (and actually very pleased) to see any of you with you bikes to help me work on stuff for you - am happy to make one-offs and put you up at my house so we can drink and talk bikes (been a biker for nearly 40 years) so please use this to help me develop my stuff and to listen to what you blokes think is right or good.

I`m going to try and post an image of a V Strom BBQ I made for one of you blokes a while ago - its a thing of beauty but apparently you can cook on it and it folds down to fit inside a slim case inside your pannier. Its just to show you a sample of what I do blokes.

God knows if the image will appear - having a low IQ (its the beemers...............) I simply don't know if I have got it right but if not if you just click on it................

Thank yoooooooo

It was one of my first things I designed and made - as I said to me a thing of beauty but to be honest better suited to the boot of a car rather than a pannier coz it weighs a ton - its made that way because the cheap thin sheet mild steel ones out there used to buckle and look like crap after just on use - you can stick this one in a dishwasher!

And you can cook on it.............

ha - just seen one of the icons - I had a knee op on Friday (Six weeks on sticks.............)

:limp: :limp:

funny funny funny

Good luck with the recovery. I broke my knee a good few years ago coming off a mtb... although the doctors told me I may not walk again, here I am racing mtb's, and riding motorcycles :) Take it steady, as I'm sure you will :)

That is actually quite uplifting and inspirational - after the op I was told that I had osteoarthritis - to be honest it devastated me on Friday but many more folk have to put up with much worse so I`m looking for inspiration thank you.

Sorry pal.

Anyway, above is a good indication of the parts - there are more and a few different angles so I`ll try and get some more posted for you all to look at.

Ta,

(http://i889.photobucket.com/albums/ac98/Vaudinet/gpsmount.jpg) (http://s889.photobucket.com/user/Vaudinet/media/gpsmount.jpg.html)

Doesn't need the lip and fastening stuff on top just the flat plate to attach a ram ball to would be enough.
