We shall see. I ground off the nubs and tabs when I re-enforced the sub frame. I thought it may break off when i did it.

I've been searching these threads to find ideas on how/where to fit a tool kit discretely to my 2009 KLX. Here's what I came up with in the end.

It took me about an hour of cutting, drilling and welding and cost approximately nothing to make the bracket. The box itself came from an old bike.

JB Weld... worth gold in the wild!!!!
Assorted bolts, in-case one falls out. (they don't take up much room)
Small bicycle pump and/or CO2 cartridges & unit. Maybe a small bottle of slime.

Green 15.... I can't believe your rear tire doesn't hit that on a big woop! OMG! At least it's not the front tire that is going to lock up!!!!! OMG!!!

Agree^^^
Check a fully compressed rear suspension to see if the tire will hit the box.

Yes, losing a few cm of clearance was a concern. I checked it by duct taping a plastic bottle the size of the bracket under the back end then riding and checking for contact. For me riding around on dirt tracks in the countryside it is fine. If I was heavier or was Evil Knievel jumping over buses it might not be.

Sometimes riding, you drive places where you really didn't think they were that bad (woopy) or something presents it's self unexpected and one doesn't have time to take action (pot hole). I would recommend, do not take that bike off road or onto a track.

The helmet lock mount would be a better location to mount that tool box off of. I couldn’t imagine putting something purposefully in the wheel travel path just to hold afew tools that were better off where the oem tool bag was located or a butt pack/tool pouch. Crazy
