Perforated metal sheets

[Buellysses]

Guys;
A couple of you had mentioned you would like some of this stuff. It's not an exact match for whats stock, but pretty damn close.

Shoot me an e-mail with your zipcode. I haven't got the invoice from McMaster yet, but the damn sheet was 3'x4' so im sure the shipping is going to be a bitch. I'll let you know a cost when I get the invoice.

3.5/sq foot + shipping if anyone is interested. I've got about a 3'x3' section left.

Buellysses,

Would you share the McMaster p/n?

thanks,

[ADAMLEE]

Metal came in, looks great and is perfect for my airbox mod!

Thanks again,
Adam

Point;
Sorry, trade secret. I could make some money off this stuff. ;) Kidding of course.

Thanks for helping ALL of us out!! The Perforated Metal Sheets came in yesterday, they look awesome and are super sturdy for my airbox mod!!!

Thanks again,

Buellysses,

Thanks...I believe I could have located it, but “the secret” as you have mentioned is to get the right nomenclature for the search to find what one may be describing.

Again, thanks for replying and another thanks for helping out other Bueller’s!!

[dave_xb12r]

I think I'm going to need to order a whole sheet. I have too many ideas :D

Thanks again Buellysses!

[Buellysses]

Yeah, I've been looking at some other places I could use it as well..

Glad I could help out.

I want pictures of your guys mods though!

[only1reds]

Nice work Gentlemen. Looks stock! [up][up] (one for each)

[only1reds]

Professional pieces [up][cool][up].

What are you guys using to hold the metal sheets and plastic covers together?

[oxygen151]

Only1,

Along the bottom I just used hot glue, but along the top I used black silicon. You can't see any of it from the front. Turned out good, but it was more work than I was anticipating. Cutting the mesh to fit the cut out perfectly was a pain in the ass. Took me a few tries at least.

[only1reds]

Awesome, thank you.

I haven't had a free weekend to work on my project as of yet.

Will keep posted with what I come up with.

[oxygen151]

I somewhat "tacked" the top of the sheet in two or three places along the top with hot glue just to hold it in place. I then went back and used the black silicon and let it dry, then removed the hot glue "dots" from the top.

[only1reds]

Thanks for the "How-To-Do" write up. Any and all information, is good information ;)[up]

[oxygen151]

Yeah I have a few things I'd do different to make it easier to hide the glue. Let me know when you get to yours, or anyone for that matter, if you need any help or tips.

[Cjdesign]

still have any of this left?

[Buellysses]

Sure do. pascoea@yahoo.com

[Cjdesign]

cool i just need enough to do the airbox half moon vent, as shown in above pictures.... how much should i send you

[Buellysses]

If all you need is a little bit I can send you what you need for 10$ 8x10 good enough?

[Buellysses]

One thing I want to point out to all of you guys that used this... (And I'm guilty of this as well, mine has to come out and get painted) This is plain steel, it will rust if left out in the elements! I would highly recommend priming and painting. At the minimum throw some clear coat over it before installation.

I just took my bike out for a ride after washing it a couple weeks ago and noticed some rusting in the corners! UGH!

[LVsleeper]

Just got mine in today, couple of coats of clear and about an hour of cutting/fitting.
I had this thought that what would a buell XB concept bike have looked like? And trying to build in that direction. Thoughts?

[Buellysses]

Looks good sleeper!

I'm not a huge fan of the CF look, but I definitely like the dual-scoop look.

Sorry it took so long to get the metal to you!

[lokatwhaticando]

looks great I thought of get one just like it. But I changed my mine and going to cut into my cover instead..

[Riderdie]

Buellysses, im looking for two pieces around 4 by 3 in. if you've got some scraps or the 8x10... whatever you've got for me.
Can you help?
I was going to use wood mesh which looks like chicken wire, it would work but your stuff is perfect.
Putting vents on either side of my lights. Hopefully flow some more air to the intake.

sorry for the pics just wanted to give an idea

[Riderdie]

got one side done, not that happy with the mesh.

Anybody have any of the honeycomb they are willing to sell?
