| full metal jacket I was out to day on my 999S and it decked out over a large wallow in the road and did the sump in, you know the bit I'm on about, the end casting of the filter, I was lucky,I didnt know what I'd done till I got home. But it could of been so much worse, the signs were there, the noise was there but I thought it was the fairing touching down,and the rear tyre slid abit but it had just rained, Anyway I did something about it, so next time it hits down it wont leave oil over my back tyre,not that it's that common. I armour plated it, A 4mm shield around it made out of hard wearing phoserous bronze, If you have a deep sump like me and you dont want to take the bus home or have a crash, you might want to do the same mod to your bike, so heres some pictures for you,   Last edited by bike mad : 23-Sep-2006 at 00:13.  |

| Thats not what I though, I dont have C,N,C, so it takes a lot of time to make that type of thing, it's made to 0.03mm, a cam on a GSX is 0.20mm . And I would need the filter casting I was making the shield for as they,re not made to that kind of prescion, each one would have to be a one off. Dont get me wrong I dont mind it's just most people would'nt want to pay that much for what looks a simple bit of enginering, it's a one off thing and most buy mass produced products, If you look at my bike theres lot's of one off stuff that you can't buy, I think I can make better than you can buy, so it floats my boat as they say. But if you get stuck I don't mind the odd one or two, |
