It's only 2mm I think, I'm going to strengthen it a weld a thicker plate to the back, that plate is effectively cosmetic. The pegs will mount to one hole. The overall thickness to the structural will be 5mm, is this going to be sufficient?
well being laminated is good but i would go closer to 8mm the thing is the footpegs need to be safe
in order for them to be safe you need to be able to put ALL of your weight on ONE peg, out and to the end of the peg, stand and bounce on it without it failing
No problem thanks for the advice, I'll be sure to take it. I'll have a crack at it this weekend and see how it holds.
On a positive note for me I've spent a bit of time researching my next project as I think I'm hooked on this malarkey!
My good old dad began restoring a Honda GL650 Silverwing, after getting it running and collecting plenty of parts he's running low on steam, after seeing where I was up too he's decided to donate it.
Being a while since any updates but I have been doing bits and pieces, so this weekend started looking at the wiring which was a bit messy.......sorry Ian
Well I did a quick simple re-wire of just the ignition side and she started up with no fuss, trouble is it ran like a dog, I'm hoping that's just due to the change of exhaust which is more or less a straight through affair.
As the bike will be only used for occasional commuting or short Sunday ride outs I was thinking of taking the wiring back to basics and getting rid of as much as possible, I've ditched the ignition barrel and indicators. Now I'm no electronics expert so I was hoping for some guidance, is there away that I can have the lights come on once the engine is running? I realise I could have a switch that I only turn them on once it's fired up but I'd run the risk of leaving them on and draining the battery completely.
Anyways I will start with some more frequent updates in the coming weeks / days hopefully.
You could always use a battery eliminator.....gets rid of the need for a battery box altogether. Then wire your lights on all the time. Just need a hi/low beam switch.
