Title: Seat Cowl Fastener Bling Post by: oldndumb on April 04, 2013, 10:57:44 AM Pic describes how a DucaBike frame plug was re-worked to use as a cowl screw. Only a few grams lighter ;), but definitely blingyer.

but what's the cost compared to say the Desmoworld bolts? Title: Re: Seat Cowl Fastener Bling Post by: oldndumb on April 04, 2013, 01:59:24 PM I paid $32.99 from an ebay dealer. Haven't the foggiest idea what they would have cost from Desmoworld. I wanted to match the rest of the DucaBike parts on her. Head nut, rear sets, and oil plug. The rest of the bits are CNC.
Anyway, I have quit looking at the Desmoworld site due to the inconsistent translations. Maybe it is my computer, but regardless as to why, it is just not conducive for my use. Title: Re: Seat Cowl Fastener Bling Post by: Raux on April 04, 2013, 02:02:54 PM yeah, it's kinda like that.
but understand the concept behind your change. Title: Re: Seat Cowl Fastener Bling Post by: nizfiz on April 04, 2013, 07:19:53 PM when i saw the title and first pic, i thought we were for old monsters. i was shaking my head. now i think it's awesome [thumbsup]
