bored at work - made my own bottle bracket

[johnnycrash]

I wanted a bottle bracket for a 2 lber in front of the tire. Was bored yesterday - found some 1 inch plate down in the model shop so I conned one of my machinists into doing some fabbin' for me. Only cost me a fifth of Wild Turkey (didn't realize anyone actually drank that stuff).

Here's the original solid model.

Nice!

Didn't have the right length bolts so it's just mounted loosely for fitment. All my bottles are at home so no mounting till I leave work. I might drill and tap two more bolts into the swingarm to add in holding it.

As you can tell - not much going on around work lately.

thanks man - wasn't sure how it was going to turn out but so far I like it - even with my goofy homemade logo (REALLY bored at work lately).

I'll get some better pics once I get it polished and get a bottle mounted.

+1 - saw this today. It was in the mid 90's today and I had to purge off quite a bit to stay safe. It should work great in the fall, though - and I really like how it fills that space in front of the tire.
