RE: HOW TO - under fifty bux
ORIGINAL: XKROME
just finished another mod( the only one i could do while waiting for parts).leather wrapped the shifter linkage.goes with the handle grip post earlier in this thread.(I'll get those pix back as soon as i get it back together)
I'm also gona do the forks between the triple tree's.
did a double layer so i could tie the two ends together. had to splice the bottom layer together a couple of times with electrical tape cuz it would have to be too long otherwise. the top layer and last 2 inches of bottom are all one piece about 12 ft.
also shows my newly powder coated forward's with "back to stock" pegs.

Dumdass question I know but if the leather retains water
and there are any scratches on the surface will it rust up ?? \\;

I would be more concerned with shrinkage.
I think a good soaking with Neats Foot Compound would prevent that though.

Didn't realize this would generate so many
mods and variations of mods.

RE: HOW TO - under fifty bux
ok here's what happens when it's cold out... and the garage is full of smoke[cough].... and youre staring the bike down...and you get tired of things easily.. so you take a look in the "unfinished projects area"[read junk pile] and get a flicker of inspiration....
parts list*
*1-headlight trim ring[outer]--- free from a guy @ the local indy...powdercoated myself
*1-bug-eye headlight trim-----swap meet special maybe $6-$8---[seen 'em in j&p for like $13.99]-also powdercoated by me
*2- pieces of window screen 6" dia.---free as long as wifey dont catch ya!
*1-piece 1/8" square chicken wire 6" dia---$1 per foot
*1 piece expanded metal 6" dia.---layin around the shop....previous racking material
*1-piece of 3/4" thick foam[black or grey]... packing material recieved from ebay transaction
so far... i'm in for about $10...price to re-create... still less than $20
[IMG]local://upfiles/19220/AC0486CD5A9F42D3AB388CD2C323762F.jpg[/IMG]
cut your screens.. sandwich them into the bug-eye...starting w/ the window screens and ending w/ the expanded metal [to hold everything in securely]
