mabeline Posted January 20, 2016 Share #1 Posted January 20, 2016 (edited) The local dealer here in Stettler fixed my bike after my wreck about four years ago. I saw him the other day and he said he was cleaning up the shop. He was wondering if I wanted the old parts, the insurance didn't ask for them. I said sure, if I cant do anything with them I'll take them to the dump for you. Here's a couple of things I did with the old dash. I like the way it turned out over the handle bars. The piece over the radio controls I'm not to crazy about.The paint cracked when I heated and bent it. I'm still working on it. Might box the end and mount some toggle switches. Or I may cut it down to the same length as the controls. (edit: spelling correction only) Edited January 20, 2016 by Eck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hummingbird Posted January 20, 2016 Share #2 Posted January 20, 2016 just what are you 'stuck' with ? Is the dash on your bike now or is it from the wreck ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mabeline Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share #3 Posted January 20, 2016 No not stuck, just some ideas I came up with to use some of the old parts. I made the piece over the handle bar clamp from the top of the inner fairing. I might mount some toggle switches later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pegasus1300 Posted January 29, 2016 Share #4 Posted January 29, 2016 I really like the cover piece you made for the radio controls. Your dash to go into the old cassette opening is nice too. I didn't realize you could get 3 gauges in there. I would try to fit a pierce of the dash around the gauges. Ajj in all a very nice piece of work.

It was in the removed cassette and added gauges thread. I'm going to try to put a color match piece in there next. Not a lot of flat pieces on the inner fairing. If I would have made the radio control piece a 1/4" longer, I could have put my thermometer in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mabeline Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share #6 Posted February 7, 2016 Well I did a little more playin around with the broken pieces and came up with this. Got some cleaning and filing up to do, but not bad if I say so myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mabeline Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share #8 Posted February 11, 2016 Thanks for the comments. I'll take a few more pics when I'm done if it looks it should be there. I'm going to steal a couple of ideas from Jonas' Red Baron too after I saw his pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
