Anyone with access to their Dad's TV tools do a little project for me?
I recently bought a Suzuki Titan 500 cafe racer. The guy who put it together evidently did not finish the custom speedo bracket. As you can probably see, its pretty hacked up. I would like to find someone to clean up the bevel around the circumference, the drilled holes and possibly buff or clean up the surface of the entire bracket. Anyone up for doing something like this? No hurry at all and definitely wiling to throw a few bucks your way!

Are you looking for someone with a chassis punch?

FWIW, being on a cafe racer, regardless of what's decided with the current piece, you need to put swirls in it.

Thanks for the input so far. This speedo bracket is totally ruining my vacations and photos, so I need to do something about it. I have a friend with a machine shop, so I will probably give it a try at his place this summer.

another option might be to carefully remove the center of the area where the holes are drilled to kind of skeletonize that area then hit it with a buffer
the only down side to doing that is a weaker structure Last edited by Rednine11; 05-20-2015 at 06:17 AM.. |
