mbarr78 Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 I wanted to share what I made to mount my XM on the bike. First a little background. I work for P&H mfg. which is a small agricultural and contract manufacturing company. So I decided to make a bracket since I am a tight wadd and I have lots of resources at work. So with a little direction from our tool and die dept. I ended up with this and I am very happy with how it turned out. I am going to paint it gloss black just haven't made it that far yet. Here are the pics. I will post pics after I get the whole thing finished and mounted. If I screw up posting the pics in this thread they are in my photo album. http://www.cbr1100xxforums.org/photos/albu...brkt.%20004.jpg http://www.cbr1100xxforums.org/photos/albu...brkt.%20002.jpg http://www.cbr1100xxforums.org/photos/albu...brkt.%20004.jpg http://www.cbr1100xxforums.org/photos/albu...brkt.%20001.jpg I cut the piece of alluminum out on a band saw and shaped it and smoothed it on a sanding wheel. Then I bent and drilled it. Next I made the two small stainless steel spacers that you see in the pics. These spacers hold the bracket out from the stock clamp about 1/16" as you see in another pic. The allen bolts are about 1/4" longer than the stock bolts to accomadate the spacers and bracket. The thin small piece of steel is what I am going to use to mount my magnetic xm anntena to my dash. I thought if there was intrest in this I would see if I could getthen some made up for distribution. My work has a laser that could duplicate the cutting and shaping that I did by burnig out the holes and profile then form it and package it and wah lah. Just exploring to see if there is any intrest not positive that I can get them to make them but I will see if there is enough intrest. If I am figuring right they would cost around 25$ to 30$ just a rough estimate. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBR-RR-XX-CESS Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Looks good to me but your pics you posted are too small. I went into your photo album to see the large photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
