I finally got around to finishing my micron chop. It took a little extra time b/c I didnt want to rivet the endcap back on so I modified and welded the inner bolting bracket onto the shortened pipe. Welding that was not easy at all b/c after the inner pipe was shortened, it eliminated the solid end and I had to weld to the perferated pipe (pipe with lots of holes… not sure of the exact term… lol). Even with the Mig on the lowest setting, I had to keep stacking tack welds so it would burn through. Either way, got it on, chopped the can, and powdercoated everything. I am very happy with how it came out and it should be able to hold me over atleast til I can pick up my HR1. I forgot my cam when I went to my dad’s to do it (he’s got all the nice tools) so I only have finished pics.
Let me know what you think…
I know my poor baby is a mess. I had to move her from my porch to the basement mid winter so she got a bit muddy and no way to clean her :(. She will get a nice bath as soon as we get some warmer weather up here.
And no the emblem was not from laziness. I taped it off for the first coat of powder, but didnt like how much it stuck out so I put a small amount of powder on it for the second coat. Im still not extremely happy with it, but its better than it was.
