\"\"<\/a>Having casually cast this aside after returning from\u00a0t\u2019Centrum rally back in 2013, nobody was more\u00a0surprised than me to be able to put my hand to it\u00a0straight away earlier this year, when I was loading the\u00a0Fat Boy for France.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Same story: would be overloading my Deemeed\u00a0bag, parking it on the rear seat without a backrest,\u00a0and wanted additional insurance against it slipping\u00a0back onto the paint and then rubbing gently through\u00a0the lacquer between fuel stops.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The mounting bracket was the same \u2013 the pillion\u00a0seat mount \u2013 and it was fitted in seconds: just bolt it\u00a0on and bend it<\/p>\n

I would love to say that it did exactly what it said\u00a0on the side of the packet, but that said something\u00a0like \u201cbolt the drilled end of the universal bracket to\u00a0your Chopper Pot muffler, fit that to the\u00a0header and, having offered it up to your\u00a0footrest hanger, mark where you need the\u00a0mounting hole to be, drill it and fasten\u00a0everything up tight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Can\u2019t recommend it highly enough,\u00a0and it has probably saved more money in\u00a0paint repairs on two long trips than the\u00a0Chopper Pot cost in the first place \u2026<\/p>\n
