Default DIY wall mount for Tour Pak, windshield, backrest

I have been meaning to do this for a while. I have maybe $30 into it?

Lowe’s had the perfect size poly spacers for the windscreen...

I did the same thing.... slotted angle, threaded rod, and aluminum tubing that fit the mounts. Handy and cheap!!
Good Job!!

Thanks @Spartenden, it turned out really well and once I had the concept in my head, it just fell together.

The mount for the windscreen was kind of an afterthought. I ran to Lowe’s and picked up four polly bushings and bolts. It was a simple act of recreating the mounts that exist on the bike. It popped on perfectly

So the rubber bushings can be found at Lowes? Interesting...

If you ever get a spare second, could you snap a pic without the stuff on there?

Want to make sure I get the right stuff.

I had a piece of copper tubing on the lower mount, but it was tight and made it harder to mount and remove the tour pak - removing it eliviated that problem.
