#278624 kroyleahcim (User) For every action there will be a reaction. Senior Boarder Posts: 350 Lowers 2 Years ago   Been thinking about and looking at a lot of pictures of lowers and decided what the heck, i'm just going to make mine. Went out and bought 1/8" clear plastic and 11/2" polished aluminum angle. Figured it might take me a couple of weeks to get it done and they have to look good also. I was going to try a few different shapes until i find the one that does the best job. I know someone on here has made their own and thought if they had any imput on this i would appreciate it.

The brackets were cut with the same curve and I used 1/8"x2" flat aluminum polished up. Let me know if you need better pics of brackets shapes etc. I have a lot better hi-res pics than I could post on here.   Logged     Four wheels move the body, two wheels move the Soul!!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #278636 Itnkrman (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 91 Re:Lowers 2 Years ago   Kroy, Pic#2   Logged     Four wheels move the body, two wheels move the Soul!!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #278637 Itnkrman (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 91 Re:Lowers 2 Years ago   Kroy, And final Pic #3   Logged     Four wheels move the body, two wheels move the Soul!!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #278653 DocShadow (Admin) Hmmmm .... send beer Admin Posts: 17615 Re:Lowers 2 Years ago   Make the out of stiff cardboard first so you can test different shapes. Cheaper and easier to work with than plexiglass.

I've found that soda boxes make awesome templates. I've got pics of the mak ups if you'd like to see them.

Senior Boarder Posts: 350 Re:Lowers 2 Years ago   THANKS, I figured i would get started this week. The plastic sheet is not plexi-glass because i too heard that it shatters, have plenty of cardboard for the templates. I did download pics of the Bucks lowers last week. I think i have enough info to get started and thanks for the pics that you did post Itnkrman. By the way i'll probally make two sets because we traded the wife's star 250 for a new 09 red star 650 that looks just like mine with bags and backrest, etc. She loves it. Thanks again.
