How do you mount the sweetie tin to the bars?

lOl, I'd written the answer below before realising what you meant by sweetie tin...
I drilled the pin, shaped a stainless tube end (after slotting and reducing its size to suit), tigged an end plate in the curve and tapped a hole in it.
The bars end has another slotted tube, with tabs welded on, which slides over the bars. The intention was that it would sit centrally, but maybe it will look better to one side of the bar mounts?

This is the whole caboodle fitted:
It took longer than expected to fit it - the split risers are clamped by socket head screws, with the risers and bar then clamped down with dowells onto the yokes. The problem was that you had to tighten the risers on the bar, then fit everything to line them up, then remove the whole lot to tighten up the clamps. A real palaver! So, the simple answer was to drill down through the bottom clamp (or riser) so that I can tighten everything in place by inserting the hex key up through the yoke. To do this accurately I had to make a pair of inserts to insert in the riser while drilling.
I'm happy to say it worked like a dream

Thanks for taking the time to type that Herby, alas all wasted (on me anyway), as I have an ipad, and while its really reliable, well made etc, it's a bit shite at anything if you don't have a app for it.
I'll keep trying though, next pic it will be on the trike - promise!
Ps, fine looking grandson, I bet you have loads of fun together, an he loves your trike!
I have a similar model, plus an older sister, non stop fun (and loads of work).

He sits on them both but he's a bit clueless as to what they are yet, when it gets a bit warmer I'll sit him on and start it up then grab his uncle and go for a spin
Lol we have too much fun, he won't do anything properly for anyone else but me
That speedo is the mutts nuts BTW.

Last update on this. The Kawa 750 has gone, p.exed for a Yamaha vmax. It went up to a dealer just west of Leeds, a long way from West Wales, sorry to see it go in many ways.
So now I have a full power, irs casarva rear 1200 vmax.
