Not much action in here lately so...

Lets see some pics of your favorite aftermarket or one off part. Maybe it's just a modified stock part.

Bonus points if it's from another make of bike.

Bonus Bonus points if you made it.

Negative points if it's a chrome HD cover.

LOL, but most is going to go onto my bike when I finish buying all the parts needed to put it back, lmao. It's a long process when you don't make a lot of money and are in school full time.

Phelan,

How is that caliper bracket fabbed and what material?

The last thing you need is a fatigue frature in the brake caliper mount.

I also suspect hard braking also puts a huge bending moment on there...

but hey, If it works, it works.. right?

Oh and Ross I am not speaking down upon your mod at all. Just concerned about your safety! I say all this from personal experience.

I thought it would be OK to lower my S2 that had the external spring setup by installing longer threaded rods. I used standard galvenized threaded rod from sears and this worked! until I noticed one day the whole bolts where elongated almost 25%, very close to the breaking point. Could have been very bad if that snapped at speed.

Moral of the story? Consider stength of materials when modifing structural or safety components. Failures usually happen instantaneously
