I'd spray the diamond plate black to hide the battery in there.

 

[CB360TON]

When finished fabricating, will spray all

Nice build. Good work!

 

[CB360TON]

Thanks Legend,

Speedometer mount;

SketchUp 8 free! After 40 min intro video this is my first project,

1:1 printout

Very nice! Reminds me of what I used to do in college. I professor taught me to draft it, print it, paste it to the metal, then cut/drill it out. Made parts turn out very nice with a lot less work.

 

[legendary_rider]

That is too cool. I wish I was good with computers like that.

 

[CB360TON]

Thank you SeekingZero,

My workflow is a bit different;
I draft, then print and pass the draft to myself to cut/drill, if I don’t like it I exchange couple of unpleasant worlds with myself and I hope that I can do better job next time. If unhappy yet again I don’t complain I just do it myself.

Thank you legend,

It is more work, I find drawing to be more precise and easier to correct if I don’t like how it looks first time around. In the end I have file that could be reprinted, reused at later time and/or shared.

 

[legendary_rider]

I like the sharing part. ;D

 

[trek97]

Great idea on the speedo mount. I am going to "steal" that if ok.

Also, can you tell me more about the need for a fender (front and or back) for your safety?
