yeah, we make em' out of 3/4" advantech, they are tough as nails. We were thinkin about sellin them as a pre cut kit.
Cutting them correctly so they are perfect level is the toughest part, then they are pre-drilled and screwed with deck screws, nice bottom shelf that's removeable too. I'm not sure what the kit would go for if I made it?? but if yer' good :wink: go get some fresh advantech sheet and see what ya come up with!

hughes:
Nice thread, keep it coming.

Well, I finally have gotten a little further into the teardown and have found some really excellent parts for this build too! I had posted on T.T. the beginning of the week that I wanted the engine on the desk by wed.

 

   Well it's fri., so a little longer than expected but I am VERY happy about how things are going so far.



The swingarm pivot bolt came out no prob.

 I have not had to force a single thing to get this bike apart. It's in awsome shape!



My Shock before all the work.

As far as parts go for this thing, I got a Scotts st. damper w/ weld on tower and the BRP top clamp and bar mounts. (Scotts steering damp. triple tree combo pack.)



 I had not known BRP made a lower triple too! Now I do, and I am sending my OEM lower with the stem in it to them to press out the stem and press it into thier lower, so my trees will be all BRP. They make a nice rear chain guide too, far better than stock.
Also got my silicone hose kit.


My rear sharkfin.


That's it for parts I have so far.

New parts are cool.  Sometimes it is hard to figure out where to start.
