What brick and mortars carry this stuff? Is it just a Lowes/Home Depot pick up or what? I need some.

 

Good question... I know Lowes/HD has plexi, but not the softer ABS. Maybe an arts & crafts store or Hobby Lobby? Or, pirate it off something you find at a second hand store.

 

Amazon...they have damn near everything.

 

I used black artist canvass. Lighter than plastic. It's been rigid and working great on my bike for more than a year now. But it doesn't rain much here in L.A. so I don't have to worry much about moisture.

 

What's the ABS for?

 

I overlooked your request for a brick and mortar.

You could probably go to your local car audio shop (mom and pop, not the big box stores)and get a single piece from the installers

 

I'm assuming to make stiffening plate for the inside of the swingarm bag. Cut it to fit the back panel profile, slots for your straps or holes for your brackets. Prevents drooping. Nobody likes saggy...

I'm thinking of doing the same thing with a sheet of 11g T-6 aluminum, powdered so it doesn't oxidize ('cause it's what I have at hand, fo' free) when I put a bag on my scoot.

 

Ah. I used aluminium too.

 

Same here, aluminum plate. Works great and it is a nice hard mount that is invisible once installed. I painted mine black to match the bike and side bag.
