Materials cotton shirt or towel mirror Tissue paper frame sliders two 10 m bolts two washers two bolt extensions
|
Tools 10 mm socket wrench extension hex key set extra clear tape cross-head screwdriver
|
Time: 30 mins | |
|
|
frame sliders set.. bolts, washers, and
extensions
|
||
|
|
got this mirror tissue wrapping paper stuff at the dollar
store.. thought it would be cool to wrap the sliders with for decorative
purposes..
|
||
|
|
started with the right-side.. used a fairly high-size
hex key to fit into the bolts.. didnt bother to loosen the pinch bolts since
it wouldnt have been worth the trouble to even try..
|
|
|
now depending on the type of hex key, might have to
get creative in starting to loosen that bolt cause it was tough.. the
cotton towel was used to protect the fairing from any potential scratches
that could arise while unwinding the engine mount bolt.
remove fairings only if their is high potential to scratch them.. |
||
|
|
this is a view of the mounting bolt removed..
|
||
|
|
now prepare the sliders in the right order.. looking at both
sides of the chassis will give an idea of which frame slider goes on which
side.. now starting with assembly of components: first is the extension that connects to the frame or chassis..
|
||
|
|
next is the washer and bolt..
|
|
|
should appear like this.. now ready to bolt the first
slider into the chassis frame..
|
||
|
|
prepare socket wrench and use extension for bolt.. | ||
|
|
provide as much torque as possible.. | ||
|
|
now done with one side..
|
|
|
same process for other-side..
|
||
|
|
cut a sheet to wrap around the sliders..
|
||
|
|
notice how mirror like reflected it is..
|
||
|
|
wrap it.. |
|
|
tuck the ends in to give it that crinkled
chrome reflective look.. this way if light hits it then it will sparkle..
|
||
|
|
tape it up with extra clear tape so as not to
get any dirt or finger prints on it otherwise its not going to have the
mirror glaze shine to it..
|
||
|
|
complete and ready to go.. looks better than
chrome..
|
||
| recommend putting the wrapper on before putting them on cause it makes things alot easier.. it was too late to go back and do it that way.. |
