pulley cover chop 1 Year, 10 Months ago  
Hey all, stumbled onto this thread in looney forums...the guy ditched the bulk of the pulley cover and hacked up the inside pulley cover and it actually looks really dang good...Has anyone tried this? anyone have any thoughts on it?
I know the pulley cover system acts as a motor mount so just lookin for input before i start pulling things off and chopping them up because it looks really good haha

Re:pulley cover chop 1 Year, 10 Months ago  
I figured that, just curious i suppose how much material may or may not be safe to remove off the stock inner pulley cover since ive never seen the nude pulley kit up close in my hands

Re:pulley cover chop 1 Year, 10 Months ago  
Looks to me like a Barons nude pulley set up painted/powder coated black. Looks like aluminum pulley to, I have one and it looks like that.
