What kind of frankenstine fabrication have you done on your bike? After ppl telling you it wont work you stay in the garage for hours nd finally its done i wanna hear the storys.


Ive put an 06 rr pass seat on an 01 f4i
made my own bike stands
chain tool with a grinder
tried putting a 05 rr subframe on my 01 f4i found a cheaper solution so didnt go with it
made my own mighty vac for bleeding brakes(brake fluid taste like ****)
Rattle canned fairings came out nice till it cracked

What happened to the paint man? Did you crack the plastic or just the paint?

I plan on experimenting with carbon fiber this summer, so I'll be doing a handful of things. I want to make heel guards first as a basic project and a "get to know" carbon fiber. After that, maybe a license plate frame and some other cf bits here and there.

Besides that, I don't know. We don't have much of anything at home for metal working. I might go back to the high school since I was coolish with the shop teacher, he doesn't have a problem with me being there. They have a metal lathe...so maybe my chance to make some sweet aluminum pieces??
