What about along the fork tube, like the old military bikes of the 40's

Why not fab up a suicide shifter that the cane fastens into? Just think how sweet that would be.

This pouch is meant to hold my collapsible cane.
The battery box is the same dimensions as the electrical caddy, methinks... but the primary may block that space, how about the batt bag holding on the forks or frame down tube?

What kind of handlebars do you have? Can you mount the holster horizontally on the inside of the bars? I'd stay away from the shock mounting idea. How about behind one of thos cafe racer mini fairings? Good luck with it.

We have made mounts for canes using clips like this (spring loaded broom clip) the one i made was on top of a trunk rack and the other was on the rail of a pick up truck bed. used the same clips, just powder coated them for appearance and durability. Worked great! I would fab up clips to go around the fat bob down tubes. Let us know if we can help at all man

Might have been an edit, it didn't say collapsible when I read it and obviously several other people didn't see it there either.

Regardless, excited to see some "after" pictures when it's all rigged up.

Figure a way to turn it into a shoulder holster type rig. Gotta see your bike to get a better idea though.

Have a collapsible cane from Target that I stuff in a long black sock and put that in my under-the-headlight tool bag. Keep the handle in the toolbag and let the tip barely stickout. This is was on my 2010 Fat Bob. My cane is black, sock keeps it folded together. Never could figure out what to do with the govt/VA alum cane...too bulky. Good luck. Elmo

Well I finally got some time this weekend to try and figure something out about mounting this thing. Here is what I have come up with, right behind the shock. For now I have it held on there with a cable tie until I can come up with somehting better.

Thoughts, or other suggestions.
