I didn't want to cut anything, and I needed a location that would allow me to plug my Sena 10R into, which also happens to be a convenient spot for a battery tender and plugging my electric vest in.
The rear exhaust hanger has a black 'knob' held in place with an M10 socket head cap screw. It doesn't appear to be used for anything, so I figured that would be a good location. I fired up GibbsCAM at the machine shop I work at and designed something I thought might work. The mount is keyed, so that the plastic cap cannot rotate.
Next I loaded some cutters in our old Matsuura RAIIIF CNC milling machine, along with a chunk of aluminum and started cutting. I didn't have the right angle cutter, so I used a ball nose endmill to create the sloped sides
Here it is after bead blasting and being mounted to the exhaust hanger. I'll send it for anodizing in a couple of weeks. I made one for each side. You can also see the original 'knob' on the inspection granite.
And here it is loosely mounted to the bike. It's a little crooked in this picture, but that's just because it's loose.
(Just in case anyone is wondering, the hugger is from Puig)
