RE: HOW TO - under fifty bux
I've had my bike for about 7 weeks and I think this thread is awesome! \\; While I have not come up with anything custom or cheap for your bike, I did find a few for your bike's parking spot. \\; Especially if you have detachable hardware like I do. \\; As you can see below, I made wall mounts for my HD quick detach windshield and sissy bar as well as my Boss bags. \\; Over the winter I'm thinking about some type of flooring and maybe a bubble (more to keep kids and dogs away). \\; Let me know what you think of my mods.
 \\;
Windshield Mount: - free - I fould old conduit that is 1 3/4 I believe. \\; If you don't have that lying around like I did, you only need 2 feet. \\; I then welded into an H to match the dimenstions of my front end.
 \\;
 \\;
Sissy bar Mount - $2.57 \\; Chrome hook from Home Depot.
 \\;
 \\;
Boss Bags Mount - free - I found an old 2x8 and 4 bolts. \\; You'll need a tape measure and a screw driver or drill.
 \\;
 \\;
 \\;
total package:

RE: HOW TO - under fifty bux
after reading this thread for ever it seems i have a something \\; for ya also.
 \\;
in one post they had polished the fork legs. to keep them with that look use FLITZ polish as the last step it will also bring a brighter shine and still protect it for up to 6 months.

RE: HOW TO - under fifty bux
I dont see why it would not, I used it on the valve covers on my 68 ss elcamino . on a 396.
I drove it about daily when it was in the off season for shows.
 \\;
Also used i on the big truck for my tanks and wheels for years.
 \\;
it really is some great stuff. best i have see for bringin up a shine and keepign on there for more then a week or so. it will make water bead up and run off after it is on there.

The original idea is to have them all in one place. \\; When I started it I put up an index and will continue to do it as time goes on.

All in one place, yes as a sticky like it is now but to find the info in the current single thread is a bit difficult. Would be nice to have a sticky thread for each mod.

RE: HOW TO - under fifty bux
just make it easy and make the index a sticky and then you dont have to have this as a sticky as the index will or should point to it no matter where it is. but some borads also have a grave yard after so long the will can the older threads
