Motorcycles & Rod Tubes.
Morning All!
Been a while since I last posted...
I have a quick question.
Does anyone here or have you seen anyone that has made an arrangement to secure a rod tube/s to a motorcycle?
I am sure there are a thousand interpretations to this and each guy will have a different solution as well as each motorcycle will have a different method or location of attachment.
I am just trying to build up a database of as many ideas as I can before my new toy arrives.
Planning on some looong rides that will hopefully include throwing a line.
Thanks in advance!

Hey Adrian,
Thanks. You have been very scarce. Hope you are well...
I havent had issues but havent done very long trips though. What i do is thread the bungee through the rod tune strap to prevent the tube sliding up and down.
If that makes sense...

I only use 4 piece rods and as these rod tubes are fairly short, I tie them across the seat at 90 degrees. At the end of the seat behind me. My KTM 950 has a little aluminium carrier and I tie a waist pack to this and my rod tube against that. Use bungees. Not tie downs. Never had a problem.

Hey Brian, yes been making hay while the suns been out! Work has been good!
Should change a little from now, if this stay sorted...
Thanks Neil! I also stick to the 4 pieces.
I am waiting patiently for my 1290. not sure where I will find space on that thing but it will happen.
Will have to wait till I have it in-front of me and then trial and error the placement.
Shot for the info okes!

Just as long as you strap the rod tube (or worse - rod bag) on the OPPOSITE side of the bike from the kick-starter.
I made the mistake ONCE back in my varsity days in the early 90's.
