In my other thread about the steel ones that I found on my son's bike ( http://ozstoc.com/index.php?topic=15459.0 (http://ozstoc.com/index.php?topic=15459.0) ), WA Glen mentioned 3D printed versions. I have a mate who could probably do this.
My question is this- how many would we want of each side? Buy them as a pair or singly? What would you be prepared to pay for them? Would you want them in bike colour, or in a light grey that could be painted? (This is probably simpler)
-
I reckon grey or white would be okay as trying to match the paint colours of the different STs would be next to impossible, I'd imagine... :popcorn
As for how many, I guess that would depend on the price... :think1
Worth looking into though... :thumbs
-
I'll put up a figure to get the debate started: for just one side: $50 plus postage. I support light grey- easier to cover with a couple of spray coats than white.
For whatever reason, it seems most people lose the right side one. I still can't fathom how mine was lost, and I blame theft. The replacement is held in with a short bolt and nut. If you want to test your dexterity and patience, try getting that nut on!

50 bucks! Geez, I was thinkin' at most maybe 20 bucks... :eek
When you consider you can buy the genuine painted part (from Japan) for under $80 AUD including shipping, asking $50 plus postage for a piece of unpainted plastic would be a big ask, in my opinion... :popcorn
-
It was just "a figure to get the debate started" so game on. :p
-
I get that... Wot thuh
-
Something to consider is the time needed to create the design, and the number of re-trys it takes to get it right. Lots of trial and error to get it right. And of course you need to get hold of a good one, to take the design from..

I believe my mate has a scanner, and I still have both of mine. (Grabs hold of large piece of timber and refuses to let go).
I will have a chat with him and see what we might be able to come up with. Is this something that might be added to the shop?

You don't love your bike enough to buy her nice luxurious things! :rofl

I do! Only the best for my baby...just ask Sue, she reckons I love my ST more than her... :rofl
I even have a photo of my bike set as the wallpaper on my phone, much to Sue's disgust, as she reckons I should have a pic of her... :whistle
Anyhow, getting back on topic, I just figure if, for example you paid $50 plus postage (which, knowing Australia Post, they would probably slug you
more than $10) for the 3D part and then you have to get it painted to match your bike then I reckon it would end up costing way more than the genuine part... :popcorn

Could you Araldite the nut in position? :think1

Could you Araldite the nut in position?
A rivnut might do the job

Thanks. I'll try that next oil change.

Has there been any progress on this? :think1
In the meantime I found these: https://vi.aliexpress.com/item/1005008325584237.html

I have made no progress, because I was mistaken about my mate having a scanner.
Those Ali ones look pretty reasonable, and the price isn't bad even allowing for the need to paint them.
A lot of other bits down the page as well, including full fairing kits.

Speaking of other bits, I found these on eBay: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/186494105955 (https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/186494105955) & https://ebay.us/m/giHrd8 (https://ebay.us/m/giHrd8)
Not a bad option if you don't want to spend the big bucks buying a Migsel dash mount...

Don't take painting the Honda colours lightly. The last time I bought the rattle cans I found out you need 3! You need a plastic primer, then there's two coats of red and an optional clear coat. It soon adds up.
And they couldn't match the Wineberry. It was the Candy Apple that I did the job on.
