Orange County CAF's: up to no good

Worst case, like @itaro mentioned, I'll just drill new holes for it. I'd like to avoid that method because I don't want to aim it badly and ruin the brackets.

I could use the shitty little universal brackets it came with as a guide though. That might work.

 

Nice bike!

All this talk about metal makes me want to go make something. Those brackets seem pretty easy with no welding needed. Just some bending, grinding and drilling. @eccracer104 I'll take a look at the mounting holes on the roof and see what I can come up with. Might be pretty easy to bang out of some 1/8" mild steel.

 

I found these pictures of someone else's home made mounts. Best I could find to show the pre-drilled hole location.


After seeing this it doesn't look so bad to make a set. This guys mount is far too high up on the roof for my liking but it helps. I'll be up in OC this weekend. If you have some metal and tools laying around that would be awesome! Id be happy to come up and work on them with you.
Saw another thread where someone mocked them up in cardboard.

 

Here's the thread

I'll be out at the hammers this weekend. Sorry.

 

Text me tomorrow and ill get you hooked up with Carlin

 

Oh snap that's right. Have an awesome trip out there!

Awesome! I'll ask if he has the time for it
Thanks Greg.

If he's busy, @HAVVOKK and @MotoEd may have convinced me to try and make them myself haha

 

What kind of light bar is it?

 

ProZ. It's the "store brand" at my work. Made by a company called Race Sport Lighting.
Long story short it was returned incorrectly and had to be written off so my work gave it to me since I'm the only one there that could use it

 

Hey bro I'm not sponsored by monster I just run off that shit. I can make some shit for you if your down for some custom shit

 

You can't actually see the holes in your roof until you take the weather stripping off and pull off the little stocker thing that makes your roof not leak. It's a pain in the ass to get those off

 

Yeah buddy! You free at all on Saturday?

 

As far as I know I don't have any plans I'm sure we could come up with a game plan and get something made for you for like 10 bux in material

 

Yeah I've seen the holes up there. I lost the weather stripping on one side.

 

The mounts relentless makes show the shape well. I'm sure we can handle it.

 

I can throw some ideas to @eccracer104 tomorrow for a game plan if you want to get crazy with some 1/8". Can make them way better than all the off the shelf crap.

 

Will 1/8" be strong enough?

 

Plenty strong enough. Just need a few gussets.

 

Yea and I already have the holes for it since I used to have the brackets up there. Start looking up ways to reduces the vibration and wind noise cuz it's obnoxious. If I were to recommend anything I'd say mount to your bumper fuck the roof it's a big ass glare on the windshield and a ton of noise. But if you want it I'll help with the brackets no problem
