Where can I get this type of cowl ?

[The Buddha]

Thanks to Pavisays for the pic.

But that cowl has been on my mind. I however need extra material other than that cowl, in any case that is an excellent starting point.
Can any one tell me where I can get such a cowl.

Cool.
Buddha.

looks like a 70s xs650. Nice job.....They still have a following, suggest you ask the question in a xs/cafe-racer forum.

here's a start

ya cheep bastid.....you won't pay the dosh for a seat  you will cob something up with old skunk beer cans and duct tape

[Jared]

I'd spend the money on one of those pans..... Very nice starting point. Or get good at some fiberglass fabbing...

I do like that bike....CLEAN....

Your savage seats should be there Tuesday by the way...

[The Buddha]

The air tech crap is easily available from several people on the xs sites for 1/2 that or even less.
There is a good reason why ...
Those are garbage.

That bike in the pic is runnign a thruxton cowl 04-07 truimph thruxton and I am not opposed to using that.

His seat has the original clip mechanism etc in place. That is my favorite part. It has to look factory ... not cobbled together.

Anyway I am planning on modding a XS seat pan with a GS tank hacked in 1/2.
Then Jared do upholstery ... mu haha haha haha haha ... I am a big fan of having all the factory stuff working.

Cafe cowl - yes, but it will be fitted on the seat pan, you remove that seat the regular way and it comes off like it should. The only mod I may do, is to get the lock hanger either re fabbed or entirely removed and a latch hidden away so it will open the regular way.


Cant wait for the savage seats ...

[lopee]

I can make you one, you've seen mine before. need a better description of what you want. trade ya for some goodies?

[The Buddha]

Yea I've seen your tail section before. But I thought it was a modded airtech ? No ?
Yes goodies for glass is fine, but I am thinking that GS tank needs to meet the plasma cutter at this point.
Cool.
Buddha.

[lopee]

Not airtech, totaly handmade by me. draw up a rough sketch and ill think on it . Also bought a mig welder so maybe metal work too. Not sure how thin the tank sheet metal is but should be able to stitch it with a bottle hooked up. pics

before finishing

after

[The Buddha]

OK that is really impressive, can you come by some time ... this weekend is fine. The bike gonna have to be carted to your place.
Cool.
Buddha.

Wow. Nice work, lopee.

I've seen a seat cowl fashioned from a cut-up fuel tank. Done properly, you can find a tank section that echoes in the seat cowl the same lines of the fuel tank, making for a little built-in 'visual harmony.'

[PaviSays]

Hmm, I thought he said he fabricated that one himself. 

[The Buddha]

Lopee made that tail.
I have seen some guy slice up a tank for his tail cowl.

I am right now on the fence between the 2. The GS tank front half will make a super nice duc monster look alike cowl. It depends on what lopee says though.

Cool.
Buddha.

[lopee]

I should be able to make it over sat morning, pm me with the best time

[The Buddha]

Any time saturday kiddo.
I am on the fence about something though. But yea see it and we'll decide.
Cool.
Buddha.

[The Buddha]

Lopee dude -

I think this look is easier to acheive ...

Scroll down to the WFO bike.

I just need to cut and hammer and upholstery by Jared.

Prolly easier.

I may just be wasting your time for the cafe cowl. I am slowly backing away from that at this point.

Thanks anyway, but please come over in you need to kill a morning we can have a beer and look at all the crap lying about.

Cool.
Buddha.

Airtech calls it a GS500E Titan.

Hmm. I thought Titan was the old 2 stroke too twin.
