Rappa rear mount with custom dog seat (now has a rubber mat). The 2 steel rods are reel holders.

Standard rappa front mount. Added a couple of steel rings to take my front unwinder.

Logic handle bar muffs.

I use a satchel bag for meds jakoiti spray etc. Don't use a crook.

Is the rubber mat so he has something to chew on, now he’s run out of quad seat?

That looks damned uncomfortable for the shepherd!

Here's my summer setup, set for single strand electric fencing. (mob grazing) sit side saddle, stakes and wire up in no time, its a prototype that i made 3 years ago with the intension of upgrading asap, hasn't happened yet hense the stake holder being a tad bent:ROFLMAO:

Reel holder slides in and out and is tighten with a bolt with a handle welded on. Extra reels just clip on the back of the bike.
Electric fence skid, blue pipe zip tied to the front.
Wydale tub with fencing pliers hammer staples, water pipe fittings 20mm 25mm. Various adjustable spanners Jakoti sheers, alamicin spray. Zip ties, Peanuts for when i get hungry;)
Under the dog mat iorn bar and a small mattock.
This all changes as the seasons change.

Any idea who made this?
A boy up in Orkney I asked him about making me one but he says there is a hell of a time goes into it and as it’s a one off the price was too much for me! In fairness to him he said if he could get an order in for a few the price would come down so if anyone on here is after one maybe we should go together!

Its great. Last time the tank was filled it was 35p litre. No fuel runs means 👍

Did you put a gas tank in specially, or manage to get a fitting put on an existing farm tank? When I looked into it for a car several years ago, nobody seemed interested in letting me install anything at a reasonable price.
