The customer wanted a place to mount the ETC unit while also being able to remove the battery smartly. Without any modifications, it’s a tough call.
I cut out SUS304 stainless steel with precision.
Bent it, drilled holes, and it’s looking pretty light.
I’ll explain this bend later. Next.
I cut out another plate and bent it.
Crooked welds show a crooked personality. I welded them together. Next.
Even sloppy welds look decent once you remove the heat discoloration.
I designed it with a money-clip-style structure.
The battery band holds it in place.
The first step fits into the battery groove. Insert the second step into the case groove.
I added another tab lock so it doesn’t move around.
After that, I glue the unit to this bracket and we’re done.
I cut out the second-step bent piece.
The cup isn’t parallel to the mirror’s seating surface.
I rejected welding a handlebar stopper because it would strip the frame’s paint. That completes it.
The customer said it had to be parallel to the cap, so I remade it and pushed the design further.
