I had my trouser leg do the rounds of the motor pulley the other day,...so decided to make a primary belt guard.
I started with some card and cut a rough shape out with basic measurements,...then refined it 2 or 3 times
until it was just right & I had a useable template...I measured 5 or 6 times before I started,...
a good firm in Cornwall by the name of ''LASER MASTER'' got sent the template and cut the blank out of 1/4'' aluminium plate.
it was spot on when I got it back a week later and for £14 ($18)
I made 3 pillars to mount it to, two at the front off of the alternator cover,
and one at the rear, off of one of the Transmission main shaft support bearing mount bolts.
first thing was to plot the 3 mount holes which I did by using a 1mm sheet of Perspex, I drilled the holes then transposed them onto the aluminium plate,.. spot on !!.
I then polished the plate to pretty much a mirror finish, covered in masking tapes and plotted out a pattern,
after 4 or 5 tries I got it just about right so centre punched it, then centre drilled, Drilled and chamfered for contrast ,...
I think it came out well and it fitted in one, didn't have a decent camera with me when I fitted it but ya get the idea ..Last edited by Guest; 01-26-2019, 7:42 AM.Comment

Or it'd tear your leg off. I've heard of hit-men inserting files into roofs of mouths to conceal the entrance wound, they'll fuck you up.
The guy I took my mc test with doesn't ride any more. I ran into him on a jobsite digging ditches with a limp. I asked him why, his calf was ripped off the bone by the stock foot peg (sport bike, the dipshit wore shorts) and they thought they'd have to amputate.
I've also bent my stock highway footpegs adjusting myself, there's a lot of leverage in forwards.Comment

Its only when hardened and not tempered that (high carbon) steel is brittle. The heat from welding alone should temper it enough to remove brittleness, but if he's halfway smart he annealed it, if only to make welding easier. If the metal is annealed, its nearly as soft and flexible as any other steel. That's critical to how they MAKE files - they use a chisel to "carve" the teeth in the annealed metal, then harden it.
Accidental bending seems possible, as it would be for any other chunk of 1/4" thick bar stock. Hardening and tempering to spring-hardness could help there. Or he could just avoid putting his full weight on the tips of them.Comment
