Great stuff this is, you can get it from places like hyper value for 5/6 quid and cut off what you need (I think it's about 7 foot long). It held these pipes on pretty solid by itself, I just added the rope to stop the wind pushing it sideways Cool 80mph on the way back from cardiff was fun Rolling Eyes

I had two cops drive right past me and they didn't seem to bothered Confused must be this lovely sunshine Embarassed to be honest it does look quite dangerous but it really wasn't. I reckon you could sit on the end and they'd either crack or the bike fall over long before they fall/slide off. The trick is to latch it down with the netting first, then latch down the front (onto the footpegs) then do the rear so that it tightens the front even more and its rock solid. The most suprising thing was how stable it is, I literally couldn't tell any different that they were on the back at low or high speed even as I took over lorries expecting side wind but nothing atall.

I'm building a muk jong wing chun dummy like this out of them:

https://martial-quest.com/images/tub1.jpg https://martial-quest.com/images/tub2.jpg

I'm either going to have to fibreglass all of the inside and reinforce the arm entry holes with metal expoxed over the hole or put one inside the other.

one of these (the bloke seems abit tooped in this vid, funny though) - https://martial-quest.com/video.htm

Could have done with something thicker and a tiny bit wider but they were free so can't complain
