DIY steel everything/cage mounts

[bikeny]

These are more of a Design it yourself! I drew these up and had them laser cut from Stainless steel and then bent them with a hand press at work. The idea was something like the Problem solvers Bowties. I liked the idea of the bowties, but though making them out of steel would be more durable, and they could be bent back into shape after a crash, which you can't do with aluminum. They also wrap around your cargo farther for more support. They are designed to use Voile straps like pictured. Individual mounts so you can use 2 or 3 of them, depending on you intended load. They are designed to be used with soft goods like dry bags, not bottles, which would slide down I imagine. The bag shown is 2.5 liters. I haven't done any extensive testing yet, so cannot comment on bag slippage or durability. Let me know what you guys think!

Thanks! When you get stuff laser cut, it makes sense to get more than a couple made as the cost per piece drops a lot. I may sell some in the future, but i don't have enough use on them yet.

Nice design.  Thanks for the photos.  Looking forward to the shakedown report.  It looks as if you're ready to sell some....
