Nice thing about having a business partner is, I can get **** powder coated whenever and however. Feeling really confident in knocking this out first try, I opted to get them powder coated and picked them up today.

And even though the owner of said bike lives 3hrs away, he still made it out today to pick it up and allow me to get measurements for the next two projects.

Installed on the bike.

And since I intentionally designed this as a modular setup, it allows the end user to attach any other panel of their choice (mentioned above).

It is 95% done and that's because I needed the assembly installed before I could get the measurements from the bolt holes on the panel (the flanges I made) to add a bracket that'll attach to the side of the fork.

This will add much more rigidity to the whole thing.

Next projects for the bike are to make a panel that attaches to one side for a rifle case, and the other side for a pelican case or two.

I follow along, but don’t post much on your thread. You do some very impressive stuff !!

Thanks for the kind words!

Never know who's watching, and never know what their background is! Been surprised myself by many members here.

That’s a nice kit.

Thanks! I do hope for it to become a kit if I find the right market!

The e-bike Facebook group(s) I saw were full of bots/scammers and the E-Bike forum is absolutely dead.

Since we're heading out tomorrow to NV, I thought I'd make one more little item for my friend there.

He's the one I recently made those tetris-shaped brackets for to mount to his truck. Well I remembered that he's essentially making his own bed rack and all he has are these rectangular steel tubes to lay across the bed.

The brackets I made, bolt into the built-in accessory rail with the use of 2 t-nuts per bracket (other companies will use as few as one per bracket).

Well I decided to cut out some end caps with a nut welded on the inside for him. Unsure if it's the route he would've gone but I do recall him saying he wants to keep the bars as flat as possible, essentially laying the bars on the brackets. With this end cap getting welded on, he'll have a means of bolting the bar to the bracket it sits on.

I spoil my friends a bit too much huh?

Also, while in the garage I decided to just make another one of those bike panels in case interest did occur for one of them.
