Default going to chop it off !

No, no, not what you are thinking. But that one does get me into a lot of trouble.[&:]

My new windscreen makes my bike look like it has a five-head.
Having a fourhead with nothing in it is bad enough...

Look at the avatar: how should i go about doing this?


I think i'm not even going to detach it first. i will prolly just pull a string across where i am going to make the cut and throw a hacksaw on it.

thoughts?

general tech? wrong section? []

it will have to come off to smooth it on a belt sander it something or else it will look like crap. mark it on the bike, you can cut it on the bike, but you will have to finish it off the bike.

Dremmel or steel masonary blade on a 4" grinder. File smooth and for finishing touches add a piece of 1/4" rubber tubing, slit down the edge to trim it off.

Or just grab a handheld belt sander and go to town.

great idea! I was thinking bout what tha edge would look like. [sm=exactly.gif]

belt sander ? grinder ? dremel ? What are these futuristic mechanisms you speak of ? HACKSAW!!! cave-man style

jk * i'll throw the grinder on it now that you mention it.


I'll leave room for tucking.
