Crutch Mount

Mark did a great job setting the bike up so I could mount my crutches so I could get back on my bike.

Supplies: PVC Pipe, (2) Hose Clamps, Safety Wire, Duct Tape, (3) Bungee Cords

Cut the pipe to the desire size and used hose clamps to attach it to the sub-frame on the R6. Then he safety wired the hose clamps to prevent them from unscrewing and covered the clamps and wire with duct tape to prevent it from digging into my leg. For added safety a bungee cord was also attached around the pvc pipe and sub-frame at the bottom but is not necessary. Once the crutches are slid into the pipe two bungees were used at the top to secure them. You can easily use just one bungee but we liked having the second one for added safety.
