Just go tinker with some 3/16 steel... odds are you will come out more protected than you were!

Did you take out the plastic skid or was it still there? I saw those mounting bolts on the front side the other day and I thought "hey, I can use those!" Good work!

nice work ! but i think you really need some more support for the back instead of hanging it from the weenie gas tank hangers but anything is better than a plastic tank uncovered

.... i like the eye patch... made me laugh.

Unfortunately i came to realize that if i use the computers at work to "surf", they block all images, video, internet radio.... they make the internet unusable.

When i looked at this thread at home.... the pictures popped up.
