Tail Chop Frame Plugs. Cool Alternatives? Fancy Aftermarket Stuff?

[corey]

Hey guys.
The plugs that came with my comp-werks kit don't quite fit my frame for some reason, so I'm left looking elsewhere.
Anyone have any suggestions for something cool that fits? Photos are always welcome as well.

I just went to Lowe's

These or used shot gun shells are my favorites

If you have after-market bars, the stock bar-ends fit the cut frame perfectly and look like that's what they were made for.

I just went to a gun range and picked up some spent 20ga shells and they look super bad ass.  It's a perfect fit as well.  I really don't know of any other alternatives.

Find a buddy with a lathe.

not may buddies with that type of equipment here in the steel city... my brother has a cnc mill, without the computer... we can run stuff off by hand...

I have the desmorados/desmoworld ones shown above in StopInTime's post, but in Gold Billet. And my tail is chopped. They look great installed.

However, empty 20ga shotgun shells would look pretty bad ass.

Ask him about the procedure by mail, phone or DML PM, he's a sponsor and communicates in English. Basically you will have to transfer money up front.

Here is a pic of the 20 gauge shells



The primers are still live - I like to live dangerously.  You might want to clear coat them.  Mine are oxidizing a bit.  The shells I used are brass plated steel (when did they change that?) and there is a dissimilar metal issue going on.  I like them a lot though.

One of the board sponsors, MotoCreations, has some kick ass frame plugs.  If I ever get rid of the shells, I'll buy his. <edit> OOP's I can't find frame plugs on his web site.  I know we talked about his designs and he sent me some pics, but I don't see them.  Paging Mark to this thread......
