No decals on mine anymore Thomas.
WS6 pointed out the last ones, and they are gone.
Is that you in the pic??
You look bigger than you appear.
Do you feel more like you do now
than you did when you got here??
While we're on the subject,
If a hen and a half,
lays an egg and a half,
in a day and a half,
how long does it take a one legged midget
to kick all the seeds out of a dill pickle??

That'll look good Formula. Nice design.
All those straight lines are gonna be time consuming.
What do you plan to use for trimming up the penetrations??
I used a combination of high speed die grinder, chain saw file,
flat file, Barlow Knife for the easy ones bored with the hole saw.
The resin is ugly to work with.
Took longer than I woulda thought.
I only had two straight lines to deal with,
they were harder than the round holes and the radiuses.
Post up some pix and thoughts when you do yours.

Mud,
Here's a photo shop, I think I'm just going to trim the extra fat off
by matching the radius of the pulley,
trimming the bottom so its level with the bottom of the belt,
and cut out some of that triangle.

I matched the radius of the pulley, trimmed the bottom so its level with the bottom of the belt,
and cut out some of that triangle. I didn't do any slotting, like you said it would be time consuming, maybe someone else will attemptto do itwith a router set up.
I used a die grinder with a 3" fiber cut off wheel, and a file type bit in the die grinder, cleaned up all the edges with a Dremel with a sanding barrel.
I traced the pulley radius onto a piece of card board and taped it on to the belt guard as a guide, put a scribe mark on the front of the guard right where the bottom of lower belt was, then used a straight edge and ran a scribe mark to the rear of the belt guard. For the triangle I just eye balled it.
Seemed like a lot of work for something that doesn't stand out that much, putting in the holes or slotting does make more of a difference.
Post #350 is pretty funny.

The camera is a little pocket camera, Canon Power Shot SD550, it takes pretty good pictures but I usually shoot a lot to get one good one.As you know photos don't do any of these bikes justice, they always look so much better in person.

They are \\;Harley Davidson Low Profile Touring Shocks (12") They have a nice smooth ride that you can firm up with air pressure. \\; I only wish they came in chrome, that would go better with my bike.

Gotta center to center on the mounting points??

Maybe the same length \\;on your LowRider??

I always think I'm done modifying this bike, then I find something else to tweak.
Seems to be an on going project,
but I enjoy doing it like most of the members that have this "good" addiction.
The camera is a little pocket camera, Canon Power Shot SD550,
it takes pretty good pictures but I usually shoot a lot to get one good one.

I shoot everything on a tripod.
I shoot with a Canon also - the Rebel EOS.
If I get a pocket camera, you all will really get tired of me.

Self portrait, ha ha. Yeah I guess it is.
accident that has given me some ideas for
some maybe interesting shots.
The 46, or the 38 Chev sidewaze and reflected.
Nope Jimmy, not a ManFrotto.
Never heard of em.
Looked at their website now.
Very impressive.
Mine is a QuantaRay.
I like it.
Very nice piece of equipment.
