Got Bored, MADE A STAY!

So in an atempt to made a boring night at work. I went ahead and made a fairing stay out of some scrap metal. Note all I hade was 3/4 o my stock stay, front fairing and no bike. Which i was worried about, because i didnt have anything to fit test or refer back too. Turns out when I got home and pu it on. It fit at planned!

If you ar wondering what the clear tubing on the stay is for. Its for vibration and noise... I think I am ging to swap it out for some black tubing though-

Re: Got Bored, MADE A STAY!

looks like it could twist/break at the round/flat weld... I'd throw in a gusset on each side to be safe. Looks good other than that

Re: Got Bored, MADE A STAY!

ya it sucks but i think i can run a vertical or over head weld better than anything else now cause i have had to do is so much but it does suck cause you get the ever living **** burned out of you....Ive been welding a hole bunch of Stainless 308 her the last year and a half it was kinda hard to get use to but that **** is pretty bad *** to weld now that i got the hang of it it looks like gold when your done..........Ive never welded it with a mig or tig tho just stick 308 stainless rods

Re: Got Bored, MADE A STAY!

If/when I make another one I am going to use quality steel instead of scrap. something about pitted steel that really grinds my gears! lol
