    I don't think someone will use Buell for stunts or police chaise, too risky for such unreliable motorcycle. But you can easily change plastic on Buell to change color, so Buell has some capability for criminal activity.

    Ha ha! you got me. Here's the twist if ne'er-do-well's don't clone your plate for a similar vehicle they can steal a similar vehicle to YOURS and then swap the stolen vehicles plate with YOUR plates in a parking lot. You get pulled over someday for a stolen car because you know your license plate number by heart right And they never have any reason to pull over the thief because he's cruising on your tags in a car that matches the plates LOL.

    I made a fly screen out of an old helmet. It's still pretty rough but you get the idea

    Thanks fellas
    I hate the thought of throwing helmets away or just having them collect dust. I'm also big on repurposing stuff. I'll keep this updated as the project progresses

    I like it Carlos, is that what's left of the helmet laying on that vinyl fence? Don't forget about metal prep plastic to smooth that puppy out.

    Yeah, that's the other half. I'm making two fly screen per old helmet.
    I try to use as little finishing bondo or metal set as possible by skim coating with thin layers of fiberglass and resin.
    Like I said, I'll keep you guys posted as my recycle/repurpose project progresses.

    Appreciate the encouragement. You guys are great!

    I'm also planning on duplicating xbs flyscreens in fiberglass. Updates will be coming....

    Carlos, get long thin pieces of sandpaper, about two inches wide and about 20 inches long and strap sand that, it will help you keep the radius as opposed to even soft blocking it as you will get flat spots. Sand on and post pics of progress brother.
