It's looks to be a raiser clamp, we use them to hold pipe up when it goes thru the floors of a building...............A clutch hub holder

we're not idiots :rolleyes:

thats a portable potty tool common in most older motorcycle tool kits.

Its also popular among hikers, farmers, golfers, etc. where restrooms are not close by.

You just take a zip lok bag or one of your plastic wal mart bags and put it inside the ring kinda like a trash can liner and then squat down and use the handle to hold the ring up to your bottom.

When your done doing your business you close the bag up and tie it to your belt loop and dispose of it later in a trash can.

I was thinking the same thing but I didn't see a chair to sit on. That must be for the young people. Us old farts would need a chair. Also it would help to be a little bigger. I can't see as good as I use to.

Ok before you boyz start wrapping shit around your pulley's. First I took a 3' length of 1-1/2" x 3/16" strap & clamped it to an old 33T pulley, I fired up the "rose-bud" torch and got the band red hot at the leading edge & rotated the pulley (go slow) so it conformed to the pulley, I cut it a bit short (so I could use it on a 32T-34T pulley. Then I cut it in half and welded the ears on the ends (this should be done when wrapped around a pulley to get the proper angle) I cut an old belt to wrap around the pulley & pulled the new holder on & tightened-up, around the belt & pulley, I then went to the scoot to see where the handle should hit, measured, cut & welded, I don't know if the lil braces from the handle to the clamp are needed, but I always "over engineer" the shit I make.

 

In the 2nd pic it shows the handle resting on the frame (for installing) When removing it rests on the top of the swing-arm with a 34T pulley

 

Cost= $6.00 for material, 3/4 hr shop rate w/welding $75.00

Total $81.00 Priceless when nobody's around to help

The braces/gussets are what tells me it is well engineered and won't bend/break while being used. Good job.

looks great!

the only thing I would do differant is use wing nuts on the 2 bolts to make it easier and quicker to tighten the bag in place. they dont have to be that tight unless you really had ro go alot

Wing-nutz won't work, It has to hold back 150lbs, I use a 3/8" air ratchet (faster than wing-nutz)

 

Maybe make a nice neck brace shackle for some body....does it come in flat hot rod black?

If you know somebody with a "pencil-neck" I guess it would work, Comes in whatever color I have laying around :grin:
