Fred, sounds like a good decision given your situation and a great deal for someone given the nice work you've done accessorizing your bike.

Thanks for the extra pix on the bags, I'd be curious to hear more about those tool roll mounts - are they custom? Or procurable? that's pretty unobtrusive and good way to get some heavy bits (tools, fuel) lower and more towards center.

I've taken advantage of the sunshine to take a few more pictures of the bike today - and had a short ride so the bike has a few more miles on the clock now. That has almost changed my mind about selling!

The whole set can be seen here: https://pixility.smugmug.com/Vehicles/Freds-R1250-RS/

And here is a selection:

Hi,

I've taken a few more pictures now with some closer shots of the tool tubes. I think these are the ones I bought (they vary in diameter and length) and some have yellow writing printed on them and are best avoided as it is almost impossible to remove.

The tubes have two plastic mounting brackets. The one at the lid end I bolted to the rear of the Shad pannier frame together with a bracket for the locking arrangement. The bottom one I cut off and just bolted a small right angle stainless steel bracket to the bottom of the tube and bolted that to the front part of the Shad frames. Should be fairly obvious from the following pictures.

Now sold subject to completion of transaction.

Prayers for a successful procedure and a quick and complete recovery, Fred!

Those tubes look like a great idea - now if you could just retrofit some Stinger missiles or some solid rocket boosters into them.... :)

Good luck with both the sale and the medical procedures. Sorry you are having to sell the bike.

Best of luck Fred, can’t have been an easy decision so I hope you can get back on two wheels ASAP.

Seeing the ‘rocket launchers’ reminded me of the time when me and some mates dismantled a couple of bicycle pumps, strapped them to rear the forks of a bicycle (facing backwards), got a load of bangers (fireworks not sausages!), dug out the powder, stuffed the powder in the pump tubes and... well you can guess the rest! An impressive display of sparks and no thrust!

We were always up to crazy stunts like that, how on earth we survived with only minor cut grazes and burns is beyond me!

I certainly wish you well and hope you can avoid back surgery. I've had two of them. It's the complications they don't tell you about up front that you are then forced to live with that are the most unpleasant. Even if they're minor. I hope you stay well and are able to get back on two wheels at some point. That's a sharp looking bike. It would break my heart to part with it if it were mine.

That's interesting. I had to have the second one to prevent drop foot. I had a lombar lamanectomy on L5 in 2007. It cured all the pain in my leg but left my big toe with a non-stop tingle. Two year later, walking out to my bike to ride home from work, bang, out of nowhere, the same exact pain was back. I didn't understand how. My understanding was the pinch point was gone yet the pain was back. The first surgery was done by a orthopedist. The second one was done by a neurologist. Yes, the pinch point was gone but something was squeezing the nerve again. At least the second surgery was out patient, believe it or not. I wish you all the luck.

Sad news Fred, stay safe and hope all goes well.

Nice bike; wish you were on this side of the pond.
