Dean, I don't know if your Z will be able to keep up with my 200 [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

I have a question for you though, I want to make some hand gurads like you did for your Z, how do I go about doing that???


Sorry to hear that DeeDawg [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

 

fairly simple ,I used 1" flat steel and my vise it bend it . I used my welder to add pieces to run a U bolt around the handle bar . and used the screw that holds the vibration weights on the end of the handle bars to hold the end on .and it really depends on the machine .

and the plastic hand piece is a part of a 50 gal plastic drum,used cardboard to get the shape, and then a propane torch to heat the plastic up ,
and bent it into the shape I wanted .
are you talking for your 200 now ?

what do you have for tools ,at your disposal .

Can you say Ghetto?!!!!!

Just kidding, wish I had some mechanical ingenuity, guess I have to settle on being man-pretty.

 

Dean, I have all the tools but a welder, and the 50 gallon drum [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

I might have to come up with some creative engenering here... Yes, it is for my Honda 200. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Or, you could make me a set! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] How much????

 

would need to have your machine to do it properly ,and we could figure out some thing easy for price, I do have extra plastic ,

Hey DeeDawg not ghetto ,,, Macgiver

ask catterman,they really protect the hands . and they look workable .I've not had a hand smack since i made them had good sized branches break against them ,and if I can save my self some money ,then I do .

 

hey catterman I'll be inSt Cloud next weekend for Army Reserves ,If you'd want me to look at your machine to get some ideas .let me know

 

Hey that might work, I am gone Saturday afternoon, but around the rest of the weekend. My house is just about 2 minutes off of I-94 and Hwy 23.

 

so more out towards St.Joe .?

 

Yah, we are actually west of I-94. We live in the country (3 acres) but our address is St. Cloud, and we are in the Rockville city limits. Crazy. If it doesn't work I can take good pictures of my handle bars and such too.

 

well we have some time to get you set up. I live down by Hutchinson ,east by about 7 miles .
