check it out! tell me what you think.

i stole ross' idea for the mesh. its just gutter mesh from home depot. cost me less than $20 and a couple hours work. also made some duct covers with the left-over material and covered the edges with door trim. ignore the wire ties, they will be gone soon. so be honest, are the duct covers fugly?

Re: check it out! tell me what you think.

not bad, except for the air ducts in the tank, the mesh overtop loox ghey... I'd try to find a way to put it behind... Also i wouldn't mount all that **** permantly until u get ur motor n **** together, i think they'll end up hindering u and gettin in ur way when rebuilding.

Other than that, not bad at all

Re: check it out! tell me what you think.

The part on the frame and the sub look good.But you should have cut the other to fit the tank a little better.Not so sharp corners.More rounded off.And same color.I think people will like it more when it is all done with no ties holding it on.Frame looks nice bye the way.

Re: check it out! tell me what you think.

O.And that really wasnt my idea.When i picked my bike up from my sponsor it was already done.It starts to grow on you after a while.Covers up all the **** you dont care to see.Thats how custom bike builders look at things.Make it clean.

Re-do the duct covers so they match the contours of the tank because they look like ****. Other than that it looks

Re: check it out! tell me what you think.

Dont do the airbox holes in mesh... Get some g-10 or carbon fiber and cut smooth edges rather than sharp...

Cool idea i always thought ross's was unique in a non cheesy way

Re: check it out! tell me what you think.

after careful consideration...the duct covers go in the trash... everything else stays..



thanks again for all of your feedback
