Author Message   Devondunit Posted on Friday, September 21, 2012 - 04:05 pm:        I just wanted to share of small modification I did my 1125 That allowed me to use a magnetic tank bag that I owned before I bought this bike. Since the "Tank" is plastic there's nowhere for the magnets to stick so I used an epoxy to glue some magnets to the inside of the cover and also put some metallic tape over them, A simple idea I know but also really good one my roommate came up with it And it is worked great. Just wanted to pass that onto anybody interested.   Sparky Posted on Friday, September 21, 2012 - 06:19 pm:        Thanks. What kind of magnets and where does one get these?   Boogiman1981 Posted on Friday, September 21, 2012 - 06:50 pm:        I used hard drive magnets when I did that 3yrs ago   Sl33py Posted on Friday, September 21, 2012 - 08:11 pm:        some pretty cool neo magnets at: http://www.kjmagnetics.com/   Tbolt98 Posted on Saturday, September 22, 2012 - 10:16 am:        Good idea... i just purchased a spare passenger seat that I'm going dissassemble and make a base to mount a large bag to   Zac4mac Posted on Saturday, September 22, 2012 - 01:57 pm:        Don't use too big of a box or the guys here will make fun of you...   D_adams Posted on Saturday, September 22, 2012 - 02:13 pm:        Hey Zac, is that a 1125 bagger I spy?   Jgarner99 Posted on Saturday, September 22, 2012 - 04:12 pm:        Whatcha got in there, Zac? A .50 caliber Ma Deuce and tripod?   Zac4mac Posted on Saturday, September 22, 2012 - 06:36 pm:        See what I mean? heheheh It was the result of a Saturday in the garage. Too big but it was handy... I have the Uly now with plenty of luggage space and a tailbag for day trips on Loretta.

I guess I did it too early(still cold) and used too much... I wanted it ready for Homecoming 2008. It looked gorgeous for 2 years. Looks like a dry lake-bed now. Someday she'll get stripped and painted black metallic. Z   Syonyk Posted on Wednesday, September 26, 2012 - 11:24 am:        If anyone needs hard drive magnets for this, let me know... I've got a /lot/ of them.   53stude Posted on Wednesday, September 26, 2012 - 08:16 pm:        Lately Ive been thinking about doing something so I could use a magnetic mount tank bag. I was thinking of epoxying some sheet metal to the inside of the air box cover. I havent got past the thinking stage and I havent checked to see how much clearance there is between the outer and inner covers. Anybody else tried anything like this? Het Devondunit, how thick were the magnets you used?
