cool idea ponters
would have looked a little better if all three wher uniform though

yeah, its funny, looks funny in the pic but in real life looks more uniform. Going to beed it but have to take the mesh out bead it and then re mesh it. Speaking to somebody about laser cutting it just to tidy it a little.

I thought of doing something simalar but worried it may start getting a harmonic vibration at speed, does it cause any unusal noises when you get hauling

Mate! they are pretty neat the slight variation I think you will find already exsists in the humps
you obiviously have not seen one finnished with a Very fine File, you can not cut ya finger on mine, but in saying that a chrome edge would look nice as long as you can get it to follow the curve properly

NO...have tested it to 220k (ummm in a wind tunnel officer) utilising a db reader and certainly more wind noise but the only higher bandwidth reading was likely created by the mesh. certainly nothing to speak of from an in helmet audible noise.

Just went out and looked, and yes, i simply followed the standard curve hump so in real life seems to flow better

Edge is so fine that it catches less than the original edge however it is a work in progress, once I have finished resurfacing it in chrome or black the edge will completely disappear.

Performance...no considereable gain and certainly none that i can detect from my seat of the pants gyro meter but i have tested as best i can and their certainly is more air in their but 1 thing i can confirm the air in their is 7 degree cooler than prior to the slits...more cooler air can only be good...i think!

Haha not insulting the job mate i think he did a great and original job
being a fabricator i do notice things though and yes the three bumps on a stock bearclaw are different i agree.
Now go back take a look at the pic and tell me that the third claw closest to the seat of the bike doesnt lose its line halfway down. the first two have a really nice round line from top to bottom the third starts off on the curve then has about a 4cm flat spot.
looks good but i would make that uniform to the other two but thats just me.
Richard i think you did a great job with cutting yours mate but yes u can still see minor cornering and flat spots in places not insulting anybody they look fantastic just saying i have never seen one including mine that u cant tell has been cut trust me its noticable thats why i used the trim. Some dont like the trim look and thats fine but u want to get the line **** straight and following the natural lines of the claw almost laser perfect if you dont want anyone to notice. Just my opinion

Yeah it does straighten a tad but kinda got to the "close enough" part of the job as decided I wanted to get it laser cut and thought rightho, put it together, if i like it i'll perfect it if not i'll cut the full gut out or replace it and I kinda like it i think. A few extra curves can never hurt!

Come on mate, thats not what the others say, they tell me you are a down right dirty %^&*^& !@#$ $%&(!^&* ^&*()))) %^$~~+_( $%^&, but don't worry mate, I tell them those things have a good use!

What do ya reckin Richard do you think I got him backpedaling Good or What

no thats just my polite way of saying that ya bear claws suck arse

just kidding old ladys dont get ya lambswool seat covers in a bunch

Had some spare time on my hands, cut the claw, sprayed the back of it with primer/rust preventer, ordered some filters from Amazon and all done thanks to all the ideas on here

 

[Evil Mitch]

Looks great Scorp nice clean line . Would look even sweeter with some chrome dresser caps on the filters I reckon. Where have you got the coolent overflow hidden ? Under the seat ? . Nice work

My radiator overflow is behind the LHS cover. In the airbox I have my Stebel Nautilus, I cut a hole at the RHS bottom of the airbox so I get 139db blasting out of the middle of the bike unobstructed. A highly recommended mod for safety and the wow factor for all. Cheers
