Let’s relocate the helmet holder and seat opener.
I cut it up and bent it to look like this.
The frame on the side was removable, so I decided to fix it by welding. That completes the relocation.
I made the cable using DURA-ACE and also fabricated a cable holder. I think it turned out nicely, even if it’s subtle.
Please note that we do not accept work that is only machining or fabrication.
I want to secure the fender. The CB1000SF bracket wasn’t quite right, so I sourced a VFR400R NC30 one that looked like it would work better.
The arm position height is slightly different, which is frustrating…
The CB1000SF is 15 mm, but this one is 17.63 mm, so I’ll thin it down.
I turned it down to 15 mm on the lathe.
The fender top surface has a complex shape, and my head was spinning, so I’m calling it a day.
Using cap bolts on a faired motorcycle compromises serviceability. Considering the angle a cap bolt can turn in one motion, hex bolts are superior.
If you think not just about installing something but also about removing it when you install or fabricate, the subtle difference in the final quality is remarkable.
On hold.
