    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I got bored this weekend......

gotta agree with mighty here. A bit to flat but better. +1 on the plate as well.
 
Yeah....it is a tad on the flat side compared to others you can buy, but as far as a homebrewed flyscreen would go...I think I did a good job....I made a few different versions....I liked this one the best...I may make another with a little more arc to it.....but for now this works for me. The wife voiced her very negative opinion when she noticed what was in the oven on the cookie sheet........and it wasnt cookies. But I had to heat it a tad and found 275-300 degrees for 3-5 mins to be the best....otherwise it would just do everything but what I wanted when I would pick it up to form it. I wouldn't go any hotter on the oven as I didn't want to completely melt it or burn it and have those nasty fumes in the house. But it was alot of trial and error to figure out the proper heating/forming cycle to produce a uniform bend......and a touch of patience as well.

Good job with the kitchen oven project !! I once made a taillight for a '49 Buick with plaster of paris mold and a piece of red plastic. It's amazing what you can do when you either have no money (me, at the time!) or choose not to spend money on something you could otherwise create. Cool !!
 
Don't know if this is still active, but did you need to use new mounts to put the round headlight on, or did the stock ones fit?
 
I used the mounts that came with the round headlight. They are the original suzuki mounts for that light. If I remember correctly, the stock ones for the square light would of worked, but would of needed the mounting holes drilled out slightly.
 
Nice looking bike. Your very handy. I like it when people put their own twist on their rides.
 
excellent job, I like the LEDs crammed in the open subframe tubes-great use of space;)
 
How did you go about making the clip ons. I always want to make a set for my other bike. I have 35mm clip on on my black 550 they, just look like a bored and machined block of aluminum.
