Cheers all! ive got some Rivets in it now to add to the flavour!

Im a poor mechanical engineering student so i may as well put the work shop to use! even if the thing does get dystroyed over the weekend at least my bike will be protected!!! :)

What do you guys think?
shall i paint it matt black or bead blast it so its a very shiny silver???

If your going to do either make sure to laquer it as mud, scraths, salt etc etc with start to corrode it and the shinny or black finish will be no more.

Personally i go for the silver look, but black would be something different.:sunny:

Chris if its still in one peice after the lakes then think about colours,this non welding sounds iffy,but then again who am i to say with an old speaker holdin number plate and indicators on.Look forward to the end result http://www.xt660.com/images/icons/icon14.gif

I would weld it as a good knock will shear the heads off rivets, and as for painting or blasting I would,nt bother with either, you should see the stone thrashed staight of mine and i,ve not done off roading with it!

When i think about it it would be best to weld it!

Well at the end of th day it hasnt cost me anything so if it gets trashed and i have to scrap it in the lakes (not literally) at least it did its job!
