Some parts came in so I did a little work today.
First, I got creative to eliminate the hole in the oil cooler bracket where the oil cooler used to be. I bought some black screen at Home Depot to fill the hole. Here's a quick recap.
I cut the screen large enough to shape to the hole.
I trimmed the screen close enough to begin to shape it around the bracket contours.
I taped the screen's edges down, and taped down across the center, to give it some rigidity and keep it in place while epoxying it.
I epoxied around the edges about 1/4 inch all around. I repeated this about 5 times, allowing about 30 minutes between each round to dry enough to go again, until finished. When the tape is removed, it pulls off the half dry epoxy leaving a pretty straight line.
Here's what the finished product looks like from the front.
Here's a shot on the bike. A much cleaner finished look. And it keeps the debris out of places it shouldn't be.
Also, a pic of the new Busa grips, bar ends, pivot cover, etc. out in the sun.
More stuff in a few minutes...
