That's a very nice case, I like it. From my experience riding bikes for 20+ years though it seems to me that would be very uncomfortable at the least - dangerous at worst. What I mean is if used as a back back isn't it going straight down into the seat? Seems to me a regular old strap that you can throw over one shoulder and have the case diagonally across your back would be much better? No?

BmoreMoney, I made it. Butt from a house cue , mid section & shaft from other stock . Had to make the case too, kinda hard to find a 22" case.

Get a small hard case, bungee strap it across the handlebars, if you've got a fairing in the way, go to plan B. It's nice to have an eye on your cue. If your traveling across country, another method would be preferred, depends on how your moto gear is laid out.

I've had nearly 20 motorcycles in my life time.

Do you guys remember those old ( 8???) Piece cues that came in the little " square " briefcase type contraptions? I was seriously considering finding one of those for the bike. I do know just about everyone of those that I've ever seen were complete POS's, but I was thinking maybe sending it to Frey or somebody and get the shafts cleaned up or maybe even one made for it??? Lol. I don't know but what I do know is I don't like lugging around " my good cues " on a bike ( while riding ) AND I hate having to worry about them when I'm not using them / don't need at the time. The best solution I had come up with was a 1x1 cheap $10 hard tube case with a cheap no name $30 S/P with the shafts taken down and a decent tip installed slung over the back of the beech on the back. If I could get something half way decent; that's fits in a saddle that I could lock up , that would be perfect!

Those old 5 piece cues were mostly ramin wood. Some of them are nice maple but they really are not structurally so good anyway. It's almost tempting but I wouldn't mess with them.


I love this three piece option.

I have seen one before.

Poison also made one that came with two shafts, one for playing and one for breaking.


I would love one to keep in my saddle bag. I don't want to ride around with a cue strapped to my bike all the time.

This is what I've found. It's nice to have it where you can see it. On short trips it doesn't matter much, if it's behind me or on the side I can reach back an touch it to make sure it's riding OK.

On any bike I've had there are at least a couple of ways to strap a cue on.

I can't recall seeing a 3 piece ( like this ) before but yeah for it would be nice to just drop it in a saddle! Off of the top of your head, any idear if 22" will easily fit in your bag?

Yup 5 piece sound about right. WTH was I thinking of with 8???? Lol.

Doc, any idea in the size of your bag? Would 22" just drop in?

I was in a summer league once. Traveled 30 miles one way (I live North East PA,). Start at 7:00 pm, get out around midnight. Had a hard 2 x 4 case that I threw over my shoulders. It was very comfortable and secure. Unfortunately, .. It was hot and dry when I got there and humid as all heck on the ride home. My shaft warped like a pretzel in about a month. Lesson learned :-(

WOW, I have been thinking about rain but had not thought of this! Anyone else ever had an experience similar to this? What'd you do?
