I think this would be something good to talk about on here. I what to here about bike parts you've built instead of buying. Let's see how creative this forum is I personally rather make it than buy like the seat pins and exhaust now what do I make? | ||

I made some scuff marks on my clutch cover and radiator pod. That is about the limit of my craftiness.  | ||
| Vinb |
Ahahaha that's a good one froggy maybe I could help you with that next time your this way. | ||

I did a tail tidy from 6061 aluminum. It's not the best looking in the world, but it's a one-off fab job. | ||

carbon fiber exhaust heatshield...   | ||

i tend to make rather than buy. makes me feel moer connected to the machine savin a buck most things i see that are for sale are just not quite what i want | ||
| Boogiman1981 |
hey hows that thing holding up with the heat? | ||

I made heel guards, bracket to hold my power outlet, brackets to adapt my PitBull stand to my non spool 1125, seat pins. Not had a lot of time for this one. | ||
| Ccryder |
Hmm, just mounting brackets for my Givi V35 bags. | ||
| Vinb |
Love the heatshield | ||

I made a race subframe. Super light. Then I wadded the bike in a low side. | ||
| Therealassmikeg |
It got a little crispy. then the screws vibrated loose and it fell off... | ||
| Boogiman1981 |

Blower1 those are some impressive performance oriented mods. Did you notice any difference in power or sound? | ||
| Vinb |
I like the header Nice work | ||
| Blower1 |
@ Mountainstorm The exhaust end tip made a slightly more sound, but not more power. The velocity stacks made more torque (I think), because now my bike makes high power wheelies in 2# gear. The longer front header I havenīt test yet. During the next months Iīm going to take my R to the dyno and test the all modifications. | ||
| Littlebutquick |
nice work very well done  | ||

I made heel guards, bracket to hold my power outlet so you got that stuff on then, told you it was easy! you just have to stand back and look at it for a second... | ||
| Captain_america |
broke dick tail tidy like D Vented Air box More to come... | ||
| Nillaice |
fender eliminator, seat pins, and GP shifter but does it still count since i bought all the materials for that stuff, or do i have to mine the ore, smelt, mold and machine it too? | ||
| Vinb |
Only if your a black Smith | ||

Tail tidy - 6061 and SS, bar-ends, caps for pass-peg mounts.     | ||

I made a tailsaver for my 636 stuntbike. Used a peice of thick gauge sheet metal, cut and shaped it how I wanted....I fabbed up an undertail exhaust out of my old 1125 D&D on an 05 636. It was interesting to say the least lol. Super loud too, that pipe sounds even worse on a 4cyl bike. | ||
| Mr_incognito |
Oh, and forgot to mention, that carbon fiber head gaurd looks great! Very nicely done. |
