87sheerips Posted March 19, 2014 Author Report Posted March 19, 2014 Looks awesome JD. The fitment on that bracket is spot on. Nice work Thanks man, and it really is a perfect fit. Super happy with it, especially for a first try. www.jdscustoms.com www.instagram.com/jds_customs Quote
Sandking Posted March 19, 2014 Report Posted March 19, 2014 I see 450s with oversized tanks in Glamis all the time. Definite market there. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk Quote
87sheerips Posted March 19, 2014 Author Report Posted March 19, 2014 For sure fellas, I will be getting on it.... If I had some help with this stuff I would have a lot more products to market! www.jdscustoms.com www.instagram.com/jds_customs Quote
Justintoxicated Posted April 5, 2014 Report Posted April 5, 2014 Well once I figure out how to rig mine it it will do it's own advertising for you. Right now I'm thinking a block of wood (2x4) on top of it so that it will clear the fullbores, or maybe I can use the backplate the mount came with and some spacers, just not sure if the backplate will provide enough surface area to support the can? Well only one trip left for this season next weekend so if I don't figure out something today I might have one for sale. Quote
Abe Posted April 6, 2014 Report Posted April 6, 2014 ^^^ makes no sense at all, one trip left this season ? Quote
FullThrottle_06' Posted April 6, 2014 Report Posted April 6, 2014 ^^^ makes no sense at all, one trip left this season ? Kind of what I was thinking too, since it is spring now. But this is coming from the guy that can't figure out how to make a bracket clear his plastic so..... Quote
rubberneck Posted April 7, 2014 Report Posted April 7, 2014 Yep this time of year glamis is a ghost town, another couple weeks it will be hotter than fuck out there. No more riding till halloween Quote

87sheerips Posted April 7, 2014 Author Report Posted April 7, 2014 Post some pics of what your trying to do... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk The can is hitting the top of his fullbores... It clears the OEM plastics just enough... I did bring it up another .250" for future orders. Just lob off a piece of 1/4" thick wood, rubber, steel whatever. Even the use of washers that are wider that the slot on the can, stack them up as high as you need and boom. Fender washers or something.. If u need longer bolts for the mount itself, they are 5/16-18 thread. Quote
Justintoxicated Posted April 29, 2014 Report Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) Sorry guys, got busy. Last trip was a bust. Went on only one ride then the banshee was acting up, and the windstorms started so I left. Just got back from my grandfathers memorial service as well but finally have more time to post pictures. The mount seemed to hold fine for the one ride I went on, here's what I ended up doing. IMG_20140405_170855_207 by Glamisduner, on Flickr I modified the stock rotopax bracket so that the protruding bumps in the fuel tank would fit into the holes in the bracket (drilled the stock holes larger, then used a dremel to make them even larger). This allowed the entire bracket to make contact with the inner (recessed) ring of the fuel tank. Then I bought some spacers and washers and longer bolts from Lowes to lift of the rotopax bracket. Once inch seemed to do the trick just about perfectly. It also makes it easier to grab the grab onto the grab bar now. IMG_20140405_170906_882 by Glamisduner, on Flickr IMG_20140405_171034_106 by Glamisduner, on Flickr I think the spacers were 1" (have to go higher because the circle in the fuel tank is recessed).

87sheerips Posted May 5, 2014 Author Report Posted May 5, 2014 Nice! I changed the design for the bracket to be higher per your suggestions. Lookin good Quote
sandman81 Posted May 6, 2014 Report Posted May 6, 2014 Nice job, beats what i had to do and looks clean too. Here's a thought incorporate a tail light, maybe right behind the jds. Quote
