[Carbineone]

Someone suggested I should put a cover on the drive pulley just for a little more Safti added into the Cycle,LOL

Anyone the aluminum plates I ordered arrived today and I have it all done..Looks kinda cool too..

I actually tried a pan on the right side over the flywheel..I did not like it that much..So I put the old Brigs Y model cover on..That looks way more legit.. Thought about a pan on the clutch cover.. But again I kinda liked this idea..

Yeah about four Hours doing the cover today.. I am retired and fishing is in Limbo right now. So this is how I waste my time..Another overall pic of it..Hope I am not boring you fellas too much.. Thanks

What do you think? I have been contemplating putting a windshield on.. They did offer them as an option from the factory..Lame or would it be alright..

Not sure what I would use as a windshield..Would have to just look at options I guess..

Try one and see if you like the look.

That is kinda the way I am leaning.. It is a 100 percent reversible thing.. Maybe I can run into something to try by happenstance and see..

Any good suggestions on a rear view mirror..My neck does not turn my head so good anymore?

How about Old Skool round mirrors

KInda like what I got mounted on my Whizzer

That is a very nice Wizzer...

I stopped by my Buddys little Motorcycle shop this eve..And dug through his boxes of mirrors. That is exactly what I found like you have. It is marked Toyo Japan.. It is a clamp on so I have it mounted already. I looked around the internet at some of the new cheapos they sell that are all probably made in China.. This one has a old quality feel to it atleast and only cost me two whole bucks..Has a few scratches' on the glass, but looks the part.... I am probably just going with one though..Thanks for posting the pic of the Wizzer..I like it..

Get some plexiglass (lexan) from home Depot or Lowe's. That'll be a good start for a windshield

There are some nice bolt on windscreens already made for Small M/C and scooters

While making your own windscreen is creative,
Plexiglass will get scratchy, hazy really fast and crack, not quality for a windscreen

I think Gordy is saying Lexan more than just regular plexiglass..I think Lexan is actually what manufacturers probably use to make their windshields..But I could be wrong.. I think Lexan is a polycarbonate.. Regular Plexiglas is made of of?

Plexiglass is NOT Lexan. They’re both trade names for acrylic or polycarbonate plastics, respectively.

Acrylic is the better for a windshield or window thanks to its high impact resistance, but PC would be easier to work with and thermomold.

This was todays little project..Went over to my Brothers and got a horn off a parts 1970 CB350.. Works good.. Thought I better have a horn..Especially if I ever figure out how to get it titled..Looking at some some options there..But Nebraska DMV is very difficult to work with..So I am looking into other options as well..

I found a windshield over at my Brothers too..I will show a pic of that idea when I get it cleaned up..
