Sup guys!

I painted/polished my front pulley and am working on making a pulley guard out of a sheet of aluminum. I am still working on the design, I am going to do the design work in Photoshop to experiment with different designs before I start cutting.

Here are a couple pics of the work I did today. I will post more pictures of designs as I work on them, I would love any input you guys have.





These are the first concept drawings I came up with last night. I really liked the look of the ones that American Sport Bike sold, so I used some of that in my design.

Thanks Ourdee!





There is a heat formed piece of plastic inside the cage that covers the wiring in front of the pulley.

I like the polished lip. That may be my direction this winter. The pulley cover I have does not cover the area that you have polished. I paint mine with an Elmer"s paint pen. Needs to be redone a couple times a year (season). Can we get a pic of the latest one, that completes the chin fairing, showing the whole bike? I like that idea. I have never thought of completing the angles on the chin fairing.

I really like the look of that last one pictured!

Are you planning to make this to sell or just a one off custom piece for yourself?

Right now its a custom piece, I really don't have the means to produce them to sell. I would like to sell them but I am going to be moving on campus this semester and will be very busy finishing up my final semester of college.

I like the last design a lot, looks very cool.
Here's a view of what I've done so far. I used to have a cast aluminium cover, but since I got a rogue rear-hugger bolt jammed in it and trashed the belt, I've opted to maintain the plastic cover, just changed the top angle a little.
