Who can whip up a couple of brackets for a belly pan?

[blackdog]

I have got the belly pan, undertail and hugger back from paint and now have to fit them up. It's gonna look sweeet :Punk:

There are no brackets for the belly pan, and I need an indicator bracket for the tail tidy.

It's only really a 15 minute job I spose.

Is there anyone in the Hutt who could help me bolt it together?

(will happily provide beer :beer:)

It's only really a 15 minute job I spose.Speaking as someone who on occasions helps out with things like this, it's always more attractive to take on a job like this when the owner is realistic about how much work is actually involved. In 15 minutes I could probably cut a little metal strip, drill some off centre holes, and then fuck your new paint.

A relatively easy job it is, a 15 minute one it is not... not least of which is because you've broken the first rule... don't finish (i.e. paint) anything until you've test fitted it.

Absolutely true!:mellow:

point taken

i have, however done similar jobs in the past and am fairly well qualified to know whats involved

i don't ask for miracles, just a couple of strips of metal

cheers for the input anyway

cheers for the input anywayThat's cool, you just have to make it a more attractive carrot to dangle :yes:

Another good way of doing that would be to get some cardboard and make up some templates. Always more fun to help someone who's helping themselves :)

Mind you, once you've done that, it's just a wee trip to a Bunnings, drill drill, chop chop, and you'd be done.

good thinking mate, off to massacre a couple of the wifes paperbacks now :)

Errr, don't you be telling her that it was my idea :spanking:

[SS90]

I have to agree with i'mdying, 15 minutes?

Erm, unlikely........

At a guess, 2 hours (or more)

But, do it yourself, you will soon see how unrealistic "15min" was!

I can't help but wonder, what sort of bike is it?

[ajturbo]

i also want to know if you have paid for the repairs to stoney's bike yet?

[John_H]

Just made up my own brackets and made templates out of some thin stuff I had then transferred it to some more substantial material. It is a fiddly thing to do, but sorry stig I did it before my paint work was done. Good luck.

[cowboyz]

anything worth doing cant be done in 15 mins.........

i made a little bracket to hold the front fairing on. its like 1 bit of metal strip. 4 holes and a couple of bolts. bye bye 90 mins!

anyhow.. just do it! its easier to start from scratch that modify something

[Corse1]

Got to agree with the rest here. My home made tail tidy would have cost me about 3 hours including the fit BEFORE PAINT then painting and final fit........If I was in the Hutt I would gladly lend a hand but alas I am not ...I just like that sort of shit and I have have plenty of alloy plate lying around :drool:

And I also like beer :drinkup:

Good luck anyway stig

[jellywrestler]

two brackets only? whats gonna stop it from swaying to and fro? what sort of size alloy do you want? that would be a good place to start
what sort of bike is it? does it have a centre stand or are we expected to work lop sided?
hurry with answers, it's 7 o'clock on saturday night and i need some more piss, and yes i'm in the hutt
