Tool tube installation

[Totti]

Installed the tool tube on Sunday. First we thought that under the rear foot pegs would be a good place for the lower mounting point.

But then we realized that the Outback Motortek's rear rack provides much better mounting point. So off to work.

 

First you gather your tools:

 

After some fitting, welding and oops'es, the rack begins get it's shape:

 

Then some paint, black is beautiful and never goes out of fashion:

 

The fitting of the collar is so tight that the tube should stand the Yamaha's smooth rides.

But just to be sure and so that I can sleep at nights, I put some glue inside the collar.

 

 

The credits go to my Husqvarna-rider-friend. I just applied the paint and took the pictures. And owe him a big service in return.

Don't know if this is a tech tip, but didn't wan't this to be buried to the "What did You do to your Tenere today" -soap opera section.

Inside diameter approx 80 mm and length 320 mm. It is an storage tube ment for instruction manuals and other documents. 

Here is an image of the original, before we tuned it.

Aluminum is really weak after you bend it.
