\nI’m going to proceed carefully so I don’t become a sloppy person. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThe headlight is wobbly and really uncomfortable. Since my main business is inspection agency work, I want to make sure this is solid.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThe case is cracked\u2014what a shock.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThis one is flat-rate too, so that’s reassuring.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nI did a kind of solder-style plastic weld. It’s strong because it doesn’t budge even when twisted.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nYou can only get it this clean at times like this.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nI added neutral detergent, shook it, then ran a shower through it to rinse.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThen I put in a soft cloth and worked it hard,<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nand I think it’ll come out pretty decent.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThe sides bother me \u00d762. I’ll polish them… I thought it’s still got some life in it. I’ll polish both sides, spray with rust preventative, and buff it dry.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nHmm. I’m satisfied with the finish. This kind of work is why it takes so long.<\/p>\n

But if I do it now, that time will definitely come back to me later. Let’s believe that.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThe underside of the chin is 1100 = 2 pieces \/ 750 = 1 piece, so I’ll make a triangular plate.
\nI had some left over, so it’s titanium. Lucky?<\/p>\n

It’s a recent trend: “cutting threads into thin sheet” when you don’t need much force for fixing. The original idea came from a master builder’s vehicle, where the brackets have “unique shapes and fixing methods.” Interesting-looking bikes are really helpful for reference.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"
\nSo there’s no twisting or anything.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nI really hate self-tapping screws. Once they’re gone, repairs are a pain. The fairing had enough thickness, so I’ll cut M4 threads into it.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThis idea isn’t mine either, but fixing it with 10-degree\/0-degree Delrin color feels great\u2014”ah, perfect fit.”
\nThe chamfer isn’t perfect, but I’ll let it slide.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nI thought it would be even better if I countersunk it, but I didn’t have the material, so I skipped it.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThe rest is simple and ultra-low-profile so it doesn’t stick out.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThe Weld nut will crush and spread nicely. Let’s minimize unnecessary shank length.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThat compound screen I was taught about shines so bright.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I thought it looked cool, then I realized I forgot the turn signal… (;\u00b4\u0434\uff40) Oh no<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
