Featured Custom Front Sprocket Cover

Well I decided I would tackle a little custom job on the bike today. I’ve never liked the OEM front sprocket cover on the speedy, so I got out my dremel and removed the center portion as well as both of the inset sections of the cover. This really opens it up for a nicer look as well as making it a lot easier to clean. I can now clean the front sprocket by spraying WD40 directly on it without removing the cover. Took about an hour to complete. What do you think? PS: Thought I would include a photo of my helper, I couldn’t of done it without him.

 

I did this with my MT-10, really does make it easier to clean! looks great with a gold chain too

 

Good job, looks smart

 

Yes a gold chain would look very nice from behind the black cover.

 

Thanks.

 

Looks smart, when are the order books open??

 

Haha, thanks.

 

That's a well thought out bit of work Steve - and it looks great

What's in the green tin - dog food?

 

hi steve! I see you still have the q/s on? Is it now better on the new bike or is it switched off?
Brilliant little job you’ve done there and i too have a dremmel.....

 

Very nice!

 

Thanks Mr T. Awe yes, the green tin. It has some change in it. Whenever I’m in the garage both my dogs like to be in there with me, and they like the garage door open slightly so they can look outside. They often like to bark at passing dogs, so I give the can a shake to stop the barking.

 

Oh, and what might you be doing?

 

Unfortunately it doesn’t work any better on the new bike, so it’s turned off. I try not to think about it. Maybe before I’m to old to ride anymore they’ll have finally figured out the issue .

The job was pretty easy actually. I used the drill bit that comes with the dremel to drill holes along where I wanted to cut out the inserts. Then I used the bit that looks almost like a drill but has a small cutter on the end to cut close to the linear well to finish up the insert cuts. On the centre piece after the cutting bit I followed by the sandpaper bit to finish up. Here is a photo of the bits used.

 

Thank you sir .

 

I'm blatantly going to Knick that idea cos it looks great! Well done sir.

 

Thanks.

 

And with the weight saving you can have a few more mince pies this season...

 

That’s true, but let’s be honest I’m probably going to have more than I should anyway . In fact, here is a photo of a recent blackberry pie I made .

 

Thanks. Yes sir Evotech, good eye.
