I could probably come up with something but wondering if anyone had any different ideas or any solutions1992 kat 600 Mods, mesh sides dual head lights custom mounted gauges, racing chain, integrated tail light, custom mounted license plate mount. :bunny2Comment

wow. that is the absolute FIRST time I have ever seen that question asked, and I've seen a lot of stuff come floating through this place!
I would think that the board's weight is the least of your worries, but it's sheer bulkiness that will give you trouble. It's going to act like a sail however you mount it on the bike. Laying flat is the best way to transport one, you know that....maybe go get an old aircooled bug with a roofrack for the beach trips... Aside from how to carry the board, where you gonna stash your riding gear when you get to the beach? Just gonna leave it in the sand?

I have a carbon fiber back pick I can stuff it in and lock my helmet onto my bike, and my surfboard is maybe 6'? if that yeah the wind sail was worrying me.. I have a truck but at 15mpg... ew! Haha.. I know I'm going to have a lot of people yelling at me on this topic
but I am sure it can be done1992 kat 600 Mods, mesh sides dual head lights custom mounted gauges, racing chain, integrated tail light, custom mounted license plate mount. :bunny2Comment

I'm not saying it can't be done, I'm saying it will be awkward no matter how you manage it...

Yeah.. I know it will be very awkward I was thinking try to tuck it close into me and the bike and fasten it tight and pray >.<Originally posted by teddy View PostI'm not saying it can't be done, I'm saying it will be awkward no matter how you manage it...1992 kat 600 Mods, mesh sides dual head lights custom mounted gauges, racing chain, integrated tail light, custom mounted license plate mount. :bunny2Comment

Hmm, it would have to lay flat against the side of the bike. Maybe fab up a bracket to where the passenger foot peg is for the back. And possible to the front most part of the frame. Your board will have to stick out past the end of the bike so no wheelies for sure! But besides being awkward strattling the bike and board it could work. I think.sigpic

I have these U bracket I was thinking about somehow fabricating something like a fast snap mount, instead of screwing them there or welding, snap the brackets in and out when not in use1992 kat 600 Mods, mesh sides dual head lights custom mounted gauges, racing chain, integrated tail light, custom mounted license plate mount. :bunny2Comment
