The 23 model looks pretty much the same, and for some reason it's not an Anniversary model either.

Looking for ideas for mounting a tool “tube”. I’d like to mount a welding electrode canister as a tool tube, but I’m not sure where it will fit/mount.

The tubes are available in either 14” or 18” lengths. I thought maybe on top of front fender, but it is nowhere near strong enough.

I still have the original battery/ECM/fuse box, so that limits space under the left side.

Has anyone used one of these and/or found a mounting spot for a tool tube?


TIA

Often called document tubes. Waterproof storage for whatever paperwork you need to keep on a machine. Maybe the mounting lugs on this could be helpful.

That document tube looks sturdier than the welding electrode tube, which is actually pretty thin plastic. I like the price too - mine is about 3 times the price (even after converting from USD to CAD).

Still need to figure out where to attach it…

I mounted the TT under the pannier rack before

I just put Dirtracks side racks on the bike. I’ll be checking underneath to see where I might fit a tool tube…
