JLS Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Does anyone have any interest in hand guards for your K1200/1300 Gt. I am building these out of .050 aluminium,and will be painted Satin Black. I am asking 125.00 a pair with longer screws and foam backing. Here are a few pics. my email is ununtinokr@aol.com ,Jim Link to comment
IT_Mike Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I'd probably be interested in the winter, but what does it look like when they're removed for the summer? Link to comment
notacop Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Those are most handsome. $125 for a couple pieces of bent and painted tin? You drive a hard bargain. Link to comment
JLS Posted January 14, 2011 Author Share Posted January 14, 2011 try it yourself and see how easy it is to get a compound bend in a piece of (TIN) alum Link to comment
JLS Posted January 14, 2011 Author Share Posted January 14, 2011 It looks like a stock GT (I don't know what your getting at) Link to comment
notacop Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I appreciate a well turned bit of metal. Is that a stress relief cut on the inside portion there to allow the bend? A friend made some shields years ago for his K bike using some plastic sheet that could be thermally shaped. I'm still impressed with good results. I like your John Deere too! Link to comment
JLS Posted January 14, 2011 Author Share Posted January 14, 2011 Yes a notch and 14 slight breaks to get the fairig contour ,rolled both ways thru rolls and broke and hand manipulated to the pattern i made. nothing to it, if you have a hour or so. as far as the other poster asking about what it looks like without them. I use holes that are already in the stock interior of the fairing.My two riding buddies are gonna COLD weather test them when we ride to Daytona from south of Saint Louis in 6 weeks. Link to comment
