Show us your shiny homemade bling :P

[xLOCOx]

OK guys and girls I've decided to make a thread for you all to show off and discuss your homemade bling for your bike
So I'll go first I guess.....
I purchased a oko 26mm car by off gottagetacheaperhobby.. Thanx again man!!!
So for the past 2 hours I've been sanding and polishing this wonderful specimen!

This is what I achieved!






There is room for improvement I'm sure!!

you can polish the inside throat up too if you want, help the airflow into it.
this is my OKO 24mm, it didn't need much to get it like this.
but make sure you don't get any polish down the air bleed holes

some more home made bling,

PW50 polished and ported mainifold








Orion polished intake manifold, cam cover etc etc

Will post pics when i do a shoot of my bike.. But custom oil cooler mount, From recycled old exhaust heat sheild bent at a 90 deg.... quite sturdy and solved a problem that would render the bike un ride-able if it wasnt done

Wouldnt mind dual coolers when $$ allows it

 

[gottagetacheaperhobby]

looking good mate, sounds like you quite fancy your new 26mm toy

Some of my shiney home made bling....




Hang on that was Craig....

Can I give you reps +

yes I can!!

Lol it's not really bling/ home made more like race side meet made.

I was trying to get the grip off to block the ends with 5c and this happens

The throttle tube broke from the throttle lol and the cable holder broke too,
A few of the guys helped me out and we came up with this, scrutineering didn't even care lol



Lasted me quite a while though haha


RIP MINI MENACE MX

middle far left in the picture?
Josco 12 Piece Drill Accessory Kit I/N 6332841 | Bunnings Warehouse
they wouldn't stock those separately?

 

[my67xr]

The grinding stones?
Some $2 sell a pack of 5 assorted grit for a couple of $

 

[gottagetacheaperhobby]

what did you use to polish your intake like that craig?

 

[xLOCOx]

Ok went out to bunnings and bought this little bargain...



She's pretty good for 22 bucks..

I've put the autosol on the part then buff it off... Works pretty good

 

[xLOCOx]

And heres that piece fully polished

 

[my67xr]

i just gave it a light wet rub with some 600 w&d paper, to flatten it off first
then polished it up with some fine (0000 grade) steel wool,
and finished it off with some autosol on a cotton cloth (old t-shirt)

you need to give it a good blow out after though
you don't want the steel wool fibres getting too far into the carbys air bleed ports
blow it out with the fuel bowl off, up and through the pilot and main jet holes to blow it out the intake side of the carby

 

[xLOCOx]

OK so its done.. For the moment


The pic above.. I grinded down some of those hideous cast marks..
and a little bit on this one too^

I'm happy with the result
Ohh before I forget this morning and today after school my nose bled .. Like out of nowhere.. Anything to do with autosol by any chance?

 

[my67xr]

i don't know,
i have been using it for about 30 years and haven't had a nosebleed from it.
the data sheet doesn't list anything about it either
