Cuttin' up a Ducati helmet to make a seat pod

[vwfye]

It's not often you get to cut on something that costs more than your bike to make a new part for cheap! I decided I would use an old helmet, if i could find one for el cheapo, as the basis of a mold for a new removeable seat pod on the yx600. Well... a buddy said he had an old helmet I could have. I told him it would get cut up and he said fine. He brought it over and it is a limited run Ducati helmet from a few years ago and was almost $600 new It was morbidly fun to cut that critter up!


The helmet was involved in a wreck at some point and retired... but it was still fun to cut it up!

well, the act of cutting it and reshaping went well, really well... the only bad side? I didn't like it when I was done. So... I chopped it up again and will see where it leads.
