tete said:I figure I will try to make my own but honestly I have no idea where to start. For example how do I cut the foam smoothly. And If not what do you guys use to make a cowl? If anyone cares to give me some input on a technique.
I'm not sold on using this as it is a bit wide but perhaps w the correct structure it's width won't bother me too much.
seriously guys? nothing? if anyone can give me tips on the following I would GREATLY appreciate it. im trying to move at a decent pace here but this will be a hold up.
If anything helping me might help others in the same scenario. if not.. welll fuuuuugggit.
haha
Ordered my seat and have the front end cleaned up. Put a new battery and re-ran the cables and wires a cleaner route. I need to find a way to mount the ignition as mine is currently zip tied. Also how do I get the ignition out of this terrible housing.
Do the make a ignition re-locator?
I'm actually very happy with the way it's looking and set up. I might even keep the headlight. I think I will go all out with a gauge and get the ACEWELL when Im done with every thing, but thats a long way away.
So now I need to get fenders and when the seat get here I'll take the tank off, prep-it, sand it and paint it. Im goin to paint it myself. Im not 100% on the pain scheme yetand my lady hates the idea of the cream color from the coors can she sas its too yellow. I only want to paint it once, so I may have to re-evaluate my idea. If I go another route it will have to be hella vintage. So i'll start searching for ideas.

Can anyone tell me what this thing is around the ignition and how do I get it off?
I currently have it zip tied to the center handlebar clamp.
I was thinking about just getting the relocator hoop thingy and calling it a day but if someone knows how to get that lock like thing of the ignition switch.

Then my friend you are correct. I want this. The bicycle gauge would be cool
but I want something a bit more
polished.
This is a project I would hope to be proud of in the end. Compared to other bikes on here, I imagine mine will not hold a candle to the fashionistas.
Nothing wrong w the fashion however, as the bikes on here are inspiring and nothing short of spectacular.

These are a couple ideas I have for paint combos. I will keep the polished bits however. I don't want to do the black wheels and stuff. But I think you see which direction im heading. The coors can combination would be fresh and maybe I'll hold on to that for my next project.
