i like it i mioght get me one

 

Nice Idea and outcome, but i would put a wingnut on the one end so you can open it without a tool.

 

Cool idea. Would also be a good place to put a couple spark plugs if you have a turd Ironhead...like mine.

 

Looks like alot of work to remove the items inside. Maybe you could solder brass nuts to the inside of the caps then use thumb screw bolts to remove it from the L brackets eaisily. (Maybe solder one of the caps on too) That way your threaded rod isn't taking up most of the room inside the tube.

 

Is that copper? If so it might end up turning green if it gets wet just sayin

 

I forgot to say looks freakin good

 

look awesome, great job !!

 

Great idea.
Use the wing nut on the bolt that holds the license, would be easier to remove the L-bracket and cap as a unit I would think.

 

Nothing better than things you've made with your own hands.

 

This is what's great about these forums, the collective conscious that it creates. I like this idea, and you're right I need to free up the space and eliminate the threaded rod. I'll be messing with this some more to refine the design. Thanks everyone for the thoughts, and comments, May the new year bring many safe rides.
