I will post more pictures when I have mounted to my bike if the rain holds off lol.

Cheers.
 
True true :D

A video on youtube this guy rides around on a dirt bike with a sks on the handle bars hunting pigs.

It looked like good fun.

Found the video.

Also put together the mount now, I just need nice sunny day to mount the gun boot and top box on the bike I just hope it will all fit ok.

The metal seems very strong and happy I got this over the plastic version mount.

I see no problem carrying a firearm on a motorbike in the uk or anywhere else really, even if the gun boot shows what I could be carrying.

I can lock the gun boot and also lock it to the bike if I wanted to.
Going to buy two combination padlocks for this job and I even have a steel cable pinned from the gun boot to the mount as a backup.

Not everyone drives a car and cars are not safe from theft as well.
Ammunition would be stored in a locked top box.

I don't really see what is so ridiculous? Should ride with the gun in a backpack strapped to my back?
If I come off that will hurt a lot if not kill me, it's much safer for me if the gun locked in the gun boot :)

Any ways I have finished putting it on, I had to DIY a bit with the mount as my bike rails are not very wide.

I just need to buy a smaller top box as my current one is too large.

I probably angle it lower if I can.

Thanks.

Wow some you guys are a little....

The U bolts are clamped to the lower metal panel and I only put over the frame to make it a little bit more stable I was not going to that in the first place.
I could turn them around I will take a look tomorrow see if it makes it any better.


But as it is now it is not going anywhere, I would not ride it like that if I did not think it was safe.
It would be me that would come of worst if anything fell off onto the back wheel.

Some you guys see a firearm or something different and try shoot it down because I guess you don't understand and please read up on the firearms laws before you comment what law I would be breaking lol.


I don't mind taking advice and I will if it helps me :)
 
It's a pain but if it's all you got then must do the job :)

I am looking into getting a wider rail if I can get one for my XJ and that help as I would not need to use the extension to make it simpler and less bits used.
 
It may look ridiculous to some but if it's all the person has as transport then surely a firearm is safer locked in a hard case then a rifle bag over the shoulder?

If you have a better way of transporting a firearm on a motorbike then please let me know :)

I was expecting negative comments but that is life and not everyone will agree with you.
 
I think because I have mounted more vertical it does look wrong a little.
But looking at it today I can see I have plenty of room to angle it down and bring closer in to the bike.

The con with that is it will more overhanging at the rear but I can add some reflective tap so anyone behind can see it fine at night.
But anyone following should never be that close any ways lol.

Something like a KTM would do better for the job I think, but the xj 600 is what I have to play with for now lol.

I took the mount off and this time bolted it down without any sort of extension.

Also it's lower down now but with that it will overhang more but that should not be a problem.

lol

It does not but is very close so will move it back some more to be safe.
I was looking into getting a cover so you can't tell what it is when riding about.

Something like you would use to cover camping gear maybe.

Thanks.
