Default Stash Tube

I've got a curved license plate bracket that I would like to mount a stash tube on the back of. Biltwell makes a nice one but it is designed to mount vertically so it would be too long for the curved bracket. Has anyone seen or made on that would fit horizontally (obviously it would be much smaller).

Here is a link to the Biltwell product:

Thanks everyone!

I believe Harley have one in the catalogue, but it's designed to fit on the downtubes. Might be modifiable...

Is this for storing documents in, or illegal narcotics? If the latter, then wouldn't a more discrete place be better?

Seems simple to me...

Just a few ways to accomplish this job:

1.) Make a bracket to go from one plate screw to the other, and mouth the stash tube to that by drilling holes in the fabricated bracket to match the stash tube L brackets.

2.) Replace the tube, and center screw, with ones of appropriate length. (cut a piece of all thread for the screw, and you can get plastic tubes many places (sites) on the net).

3.) Fabricate longer L brackets.

I'm not totally sure I'd like my documents to be so easily seen and accessed, as this particular application would make them...

I've always dug the idea of a good stash tube, or some type of discrete storage, for my Slim. No dope. Just want to keep some cigars, maybe a flask in there for cold nights.

I just haven't come across anything really unique. Subscribed, and good luck.
