Hondazuki XLRM250 Trans-America Hell Ride

[irk miller]

You know now why the cut out is there? Also I took the res and flipped it over to the left air boot side side and that gave me room to run the exhaust through the frame on the right lower:

My issue with the res is that I'm short as hell . HAHA. With the RM shock, the res has a low shoulder that required just a slight arc to the bar. The Kawi has a really high shoulder and needed a more creative solution. In truth, I probably should've gone with a remote res, like from a CR.

that should hold 2 cans of beer.

Or one bottle of liquor.

I'm setting the bike up to run panniers of some sort too. Plus I have the back of the seat. It's really just to give a tie down point, more than anything.

Yep, that little rack gives you all kinds of bungie spots for things.

A proof of concept:

I took spare covers to test a saline sulfate etch. What you're seeing are various bites with different applications of ground. For this to work in a clean graphic image, a vinyl stencil will need to be employed with the ground. I have enough here to know it will work.

I like the top design with the bottom settings.





And.... draw a penis somewhere inconspicuous!

 

[irk miller]

HAHAHA

 

[canyoncarver]

Very cool, looking forward to learning how you did that etching.

Let me know if you need stencils. The plotter may be getting packed up for the move after I wrap up one last lettering gig in a couple of weeks or so, but shouldn't be down for more than a few days.

Much thanks. I'm putting together an image to send you. I didn't want to waste the vinyl cutouts on experiments.

 

[cxman]

if you get stuck i can make you the vinyl cutouts

Finally getting back on this for the final push. Motor is out and the frame is getting the final welds in place. I hope to have the frame done and painted tonight.

Also, finally finished the seat mount...

Cable release. Nice. Barber?

I thought you forgot about this thing. ;D

 

[irk miller]

Coated the frame in bed liner. No idea if it will work, but it'll be fun finding out...
