Just two pics of my scoot....Actually, I was just out running a little errand and ended up here.

I'm looking for a post where someone showed how he mounted his tyre levers underneath the subframe using the existing pair of threaded holes there. I cannot for the life of me find it. Anyone seen this?

@EssBee this thread maybe??

Securing tyre levers

Hi guys - how do you secure tyre levers to your bike?? I've got an old tent bag that carries all my spares - but if it wasnt for the tyre levers I could use a much smaller tail-pack. So I'm trying to figure out how/where to secure them to the 800GSA....

@Mikie thanks, but no. It was a detailed step by step account of how he did it.

On the subframe sq tubing, underneath, are two threaded holes ( prob for pannier racks), and he made two studs with which to secure a pair of tyre levers.

I will search a little more....

Maybe this one

Tyre levers fitted to a F800 GS

Underneath the seat / frame there are 2 threaded holes on each side of the frame. I am thinking of nut locking 4 threaded rods into the holes with a lock nut and then drilling 2 holes into each of my tyre levers and attaching them there with a self locking nut. Out of the way and always on...

Are you behind this?

OK… before I reveal – the biggest badest motherfuckerest shout out of all shout outs to @Mikie for making this happen.

This dude is a fucking rockstar – I messed him around from side to side, up and down, do this, do that, change this, change that, put this there, change that colour, tweak this design… - the man just patiently kept his cool and obliged my every whim.

The kit was supposed to be done end of December, but factors outside his control, delayed completion. Brotherman kept me in the loop all the way throughout, refusing payment until I had my shit in hand.

He provided me with detailed step for step instructions, enabling me to fit the kit better than people that’s been in the industry for years.

Thanks bro – you are truly a consummate professional – I think you should go run Eskom….

Behold…
