Pimp my DPV... or mods for better performance

[Ulfhedinn]

Saw some mods for other DPVs and was hoping to do the same for my Blacktip. I see Suex makes a carry handle but I'm not paying that kind of cash so I would love to see what others have done. Hose Clamp and some web covering is all it looks to be. Both I can grab from DGX.

It’s not an excellent picture but I used 1.5” webbing and a sheathed clamp to make a “suex style” carrying handle. Friends have used 2” webbing as well.

Those webbing handles are easy to make. Back in the Gavin days, we'd just make em.

The rubber band is to tuck the cord under when not in use. Depending on your body length and the length of the scooter, your tow cord might not reach all the way up to the webbing handle so you need a way to stow it.

Sea Rover kayak compass (for when I need to navigate) and 2" webbing carrying handle. I also like stickers but those are optional.

OK, to properly pimp it, you will need:

A pair of these:

One of these, probably can use it as a tow strap:

Naturally, this will have to go on the front:

Ive made a handful of these handles, They attach with a provided SS Hose Clamp and come with the option of Gopro QR or flat top. I can of course modify it to add 1/4-20 thread inserts aswell.

It already looks kind of like a squid. Glue some sequenced led lites to the cylinder and you don't need to go fast. You're that cool.
