I made it out of PVC storm water pipe... and painted it stealth black.

The "notch" cut at the base of the tube fitted
around the pillion peg stops the tube sliding down.

I'm going to make a plug just above the pillion peg
so I can carry fishing rods in there as well.

It just a play on words "Murder Sickle" = "Motorcycle"

I was wondering about that, whether it was intentional that is. I should have known, but you never know what spellcheckers come up with these days!🤔

Cool rig in any case!

Looks good but you may want to come up with a top cover to keep road dust and water out of the tube when you pass an 18 wheeler on the highway.

Dust wipes/blows off easily.
If the roads are wet I use the car.

Also Bridges only 2 legs go in the pipe... so a top cover would be about 33.33% ineffective.

Thanks KD... If you like, you can add photos of your bikes to the thread... that'd be good to see.

Looks very good. If I recall some pics you posted correctly, your murder cycle is more along the line of crotch rocket.
