These tool roll tubes are cheap so I picked one up to see about mounting it. Low and behold, it fits my tool roll perfect. I have Bumot Panniers with the added tool box. That tool box is filled with a small air compressor, plugs, etc.
So I started looking for mounting options. The non-exhaust side won't work under the tool box as it could possibly hit the rear brake assembly in full compression. So I'm looking at the exhaust side. I have it lined up so the lid is facing the front of the bike so someone couldn't open it quite as easily, but still easy to open with a little work which I hope to rarely need the tools. Only thought is the exhaust as there's about 1/2" clearance at one end. Thoughts? Touching the exhaust shortly after my ride home today to check on its heat, I personally do not see it melting this tube without touching it. The tube is pretty hard plastic. Here's a few pics holding it up.
