[dannymax]

I think I'm hearing a clue here........yup, it's definitely a clue!!! :hmmm:

The seat is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!


The salt on the road sucks:damn angry:

That salt is the worst ****....ever!! Gets in behind bolts & brackets and slowly gnaws at your bike all winter long!!

It keeps me awake at night thinking about it.

Neil Young had it right....."Rust Never Sleeps"!

Another glorious ride into work this morning in dry, but 24-degree F weather. My hands were toasty warm.

 

[gamorg02]

installed a dirt catcher rick and I (read: rick, while i fumbled around) haha fab'ed up over thanksgiving weekend. it looks pretty nice so far.

its 1/8" diamond plated aluminum. just a prototype so far. this weekend i'm gonna rework my motorcycle mods taillight and mount my license plate to the dirt catcher... maybe KJ can do a quick photoshop to show me what it will look like....

rick was saying he'd want to go 3/16" if he were to do it again...

installed a dirt catcher

Interesting ... and what will that do exactly? Prevent the dirt from getting on the underside of the rear fender or prevent the dirt from shooting off into the windshield of the car behind you ... or something else?

It certainly looks cool, regardless of its function.

 

[dannymax]

Nice job!! :thumbs up::thumbs up::thumbs up:

That looks really cool! :clapping:

 

[twistedmax]

prototype!still some bugs.

haha as far as functionaly, i doubt ti will 'catch' any 'dirt'. its purely cosmetic in my mind. plus i can mount my lic plate there which i think will give it a very one-off look

Nice job!! :thumbs up::thumbs up::thumbs up:

That looks really cool! :clapping:

thanks danny. i know the suspense was killing ya!

prototype!still some bugs.

it looks better in person than the pics. the flash (b/c at night obviously) reflects of any little inperfection.

 

[gamorg02]

also forgot to mention that rick (and I), but mainly rick (twistedmax) would be interested in making more if people like 'em. would probably need another prototype tho to get the final kinks worked out eh rick?

 

[KJShover]

maybe KJ can do a quick photoshop to show me what it will look like....

Here ya go :biglaugh:

 

[gamorg02]

Here ya go :biglaugh:

i like it except i'm going to mount the plate directly across the tire, in the thickest part of the catcher.

 

[twistedmax]

yep!

 

[dkw0417]

Put EBC brake pads on the rear. Cant break them in though, IT is actually snowing in HOUSTON today. This sux.

 

[KJShover]

I looked at it, all stripped down and all. then I dry humped it. :rofl_200:

Uh-oh KJ!!! If the GSM is still monitoring this site yer gonna get hotlined for that!! :rofl_200:

 

[dtoebaert-5311]

Too lazy to clean it, so took it out for a 150km ride in the pouring rain, came home, took a clean soft towel to dry it up - never looked better!

 

[Dr.n2o]
