    Anyone near Hinckley any good at welding?

    Looks like when Messrs Honda and Givi said not to carry too much in the
    top box they meant it... Well - when you have a grand piano to shift you
    have to do it...

    Anyway, this totchy little bracket (http://www.flickr.com/photos/
    simesandnicky/3322567883/) is a ton from Mr Honda...

    Anyone help?

    What bike? Have you looked on ebay etc. - might be easier than welding
    the old one up?

    I had a similar looking bracket go on my ST1100 - found one on ebay for
    about a tenner I think.

    Thought it looked familiar.

    In which case:

    Ta for that Matey - I was tempted by the weld-it thought as it could
    easily be braced and made stronger than new - but then the frame would
    probably break instead...

    As you say - got one of Ebay - on its merry way here as I type (although
    probably it's resting awaiting the man to pack it and post it in a
    fortnight when the summer is over).
