Tool canister from SS toilet plunger holder

Tool canister from SS toilet plunger holder

I've often thought that a cylinder opposite my bike's muffler would make a great place for a cargo or tool holder.

Inspired by a portion of this other Pashnit thread, here's my execution of that idea.

http://www.pashnit.com/forum/showthr...w200+adventure

Oggi brand stainless steel toilet plunger, model 7141 (plunger discarded) with its holder can: $20 online from BBQGuys.com.


Overall view of finished installation on my F800GS. Those are t-bolt hose clamps, a wonderful invention.


Rear view.


This method leaves a screw head inside the can, but it's smooth, anyway. Those are soft black rubber washers to keep knobs from loosening.


Looking down on rear mount. Rubber lined P-clips with 10-32 steel hardware. Thought I'd need a horizontal strut, but the geometry of this mounting is quite solid side-to-side, so that may not be necessary. I'll keep that possibility in reserve.


Front mount. It sort of evolved, and I wasn't happy with it half way through, but it worked out OK, so I'll leave it. That's 1/8" black rubber sheet (from hardware store) for P-clip shims, same material as glued in for lid gasket

For what it's worth...

Very, very sanitary.

That new can is just begging for a faux exhaust tip.

Wow, nice engineering, and I love the use of, otherwise, vacant space! Necessity IS the mother of invention. Great job. Gives me a few ideas, hmmmmmm.

What! You've ruined it for ever holding a plunger again!

Actually, the only mod to the can is two #9 holes for the lid clamp. Since my toilets will outlive my motorcycles, I can revert if I need to.
