Since I diched the stock
airbox and other covers that functioned as an inner fender I had to make my
own. I started out making a cardboard template with cut outs around the chain
path, rear brake line and rear brake master cylinder actuator link. Then I
welded on some mounting tabs to the frame. I transferred the cardboard template
to some 16Ga aluminum sheet. It mounted up nice and closed in the frame to
protect the air filter. The clearance to the rear tire was a bit tight. After
riding it a bit I noticed a scuff mark where the rear tire was actually hitting
when the suspension compressed. I hit up Trevor Daley at One Speed Chop Shop (again)
to help with adding a recessed section for more clearance.
I really wish I had TIG welder (and knew how to use it…) in times
like these…
Trevor did a great job as usual
