One cannot compare the feeling you feel when riding a motorcycle. This cannot be denied. Freedom in everything. Various trips on a faithful two-wheeled horse are especially pleasing. But this is bad luck. Sometimes trips cannot be realized due to one small trifle: lack of space for luggage. Indeed, two wheels and a saddle, but where to put all your things? This must be decided. After a little reflection, we can come to one conclusion. Only the purchase of wardrobe trunks will correct this situation. But what they are, sizes, shapes, materials, home-made options - this is another question. It’s worth trying to figure it out.
What are they for?
Naturally, a motorcycle is a great means of transportation. Individual transport without passengers, only the driver and the road. But often nothing can be taken along this road. Where to put things is not clear.
Therefore, wise bikers came up with a wonderful solution - motorcycle wardrobe trunks. What is it? Travel bags, boxes that are specially hung on the bike. Most often, the wardrobe trunks are fixed at the back. Therefore, the back
case for a motorcycle becomes an integral attribute of every lover of two-wheeled vehicles.
Types of wardrobe trunks
There are many types of motorcycle wardrobe trunks. They are divided into different subtypes. For convenience, we can distinguish small categories.
- The first is at the location. In biker circles, the rear carry case for a motorcycle prevails.
- The second category is distinguished by material. Leather, fabric, plastic, iron - all this can find application in the manufacture of a case. But most often you can find a leather rear center case for a motorcycle. The material is clear. Why central? The answer is simple: this type of "motorcycle boot" is located in the center of the "tail" of the motorcycle.
- The third category characterizes such quality as rigidity. It is worth deciding what the back case for the motorcycle will be. Hard, soft or semi-rigid, or maybe a frame option is being considered? It’s worth paying attention to. Also worth noting is the excellent view of the wardrobe trunks. For example, trunk trunks for a motorcycle of this type are rather difficult to find. They are not common for a special reason - aesthetic inferiority. And really, what will a brutal motorcycle with a dangling mesh at the back look? No way.
All details form the final result. Therefore, what will be the rear case for a motorcycle, it is worthwhile to decide in advance.
Buy or do it yourself? That's the question
Here you need to decide what exactly is required. A huge number of purchased options. Different shapes, different materials, different colors. In general, you can buy anything. But if you want individuality, then it is worth thinking about the independent manufacture of wardrobe trunks.
But here another question arises: how to make wardrobe trunks? This job is difficult, nothing to say. But the result justifies all efforts. Own wardrobe trunks are a real decoration of your favorite motorcycle.
Preparation for work
Before you begin, it’s worth considering everything carefully. Indeed, rush is undesirable in this matter. As for the place, you can already say for sure - the rear carry case for the motorcycle will be very handy. Why? Well, firstly, the rear location does not interfere with the motorcyclist. Everything seems to be in place. Secondly, such a trunk is the most capacious.
Nothing limits the back case in size. What material will motorcycle trunks be made of? Rear leather trunks are most often found in seasoned bikers. This is just a classic of the genre. Therefore, a case made of black dense material will look good on your favorite motorcycle.
First workshop
So, for the work to go, you need to start with the material and the cutting. Without this stage, you can’t make wardrobe trunks for a motorcycle. The rear leather wardrobe trunks will have a rectangular stencil. Capacity, ease of manufacture - these are the criteria for a future result. First a drawing. Yes, cutting is not easy, especially when it comes to hard materials such as leather. On the above surface with a pencil it is worth drawing three kinds of figures in duplicate.
The first is the bottom and cover, the second figure is the front and back, the third is two sides. It is clear that they will vary in size. The number one pair will have approximately the following dimensions: twenty by forty centimeters, the second - forty by forty, the third - thirty by forty.
End of work
Cut parts are worth processing. Namely, trim the edges, remove roughness. After all, no one has yet canceled the beautiful appearance. That's all, now comes one of the most difficult stages - the connection of parts. Leather is a difficult material: tough, not bending. How to work with him? An ordinary thread with a needle in this case does not help, you need to call heavy artillery. Leather masters have a special tool: a grooving cutter. With his help and with the help of a wooden hammer, the master makes neat holes. Through them, in fact, a thread will be passed. What else is worth remembering? The number of grooves on the contacting parts must match. This is logical, otherwise a clear skew will occur on the product. Something will be higher, something lower, in some places there will be gaps. This is just worth avoiding. And now the back case is almost ready for use. It remains only to sew straps for fastening on the lid. Plus, brutal leather panicles - and biker wardrobe trunks are ready.
Every motorcycle enthusiast is simply obliged to make wardrobe trunks for himself. They will not only help in practice, but also give the bike a completely new, proud look.
