Hey all, I have recently bought a Moriwaki style lower, but have no brackets.
Could I ask those who have one to post pics/drawings/anything helpful, so that I can fabricate some and get it fitted?
Much appreciated, Jonesey.

Sorry Jonesey, I'll do it tomorrow...

That's quite alright Gilly, our forum is broken!!!

And then the logical question becomes: "Why'd'ya break it then?"

When I say "our forum", what I mean is our USUAL forum.

Posting to this 7 year old thread on the off chance that someone can post pictures and details/sizes/specs of the brackets. I'm in the same situation as the OP having bought a moriwaki-style pan but no brackets.

Thanks to anyone in advance for your help!

I will attempt to help with pictures.....

Thank you! I'm really at a loss as to how to approach this - the guy I bought the pan from gave me a hand drawn picture of how he used to fabricate them but it's really not clear enough for me to do anything with, so pictures, measurements, anything else would be fantastic.

https://japan.webike.net stocks the Moriwaki belly pan for the Storm'. I'm getting a qoote + pictures of brackets for the pan (since my belly pan is a direct copy of the Moriwaki pan). I'll report back if the brackets are not suitable. If I don't post back, assume that the brackets https://japan.webike.net stock for the Moriwaki pan also work for a rip-off Moriwaki pan

Ok so the belly pan I have is not an exact replica of the Moriwaki pan, but it's fairly close. By flipping some of the brackets around I was able to get the pan to fit with all brackets except the rear-left bracket, which doesn't line up with the bolt hole on my belly pan.

However, my belly pan sits too close to the lower-right area of the exhaust header/pipe and started burning - I need to cut a hole out in that area before remounting it.

Could you post info on this bracket? I am in a similar situation. Thanks!

Funny. Just seeing this thread now. I had the same pan on my first, new VTR in 1998, it also burned an exhaust hole in the side, so I had to take a dremil and "fab' it. :-)

Burn hole, my mounts are just a small piece of aluminum channel, I can try to get you a pic shortly

Did anybody still need bracket dimensions for the Mori lower? (Not the one pictured in the above post) Mine is currently off the bike and I can take measurements.
