    Display Guard - Protect it from crashes!

    More progress today......mine is done. Mine is different than the ones being made due to mounting with the steering damper. If anyone wants one like this I may have another.

    Broken display - solution?

    It has taken longer than I would have liked but progress is being made. The MX (behind the steering stem) is milled and the EX (in front like a speedo) will be tomorrow or the next day. I will test fit each type then send them to the anodizer for the black hard coat.

    Insurance and Titling in the US

    The guy I use for inspection happens to be the motorcycle enhanced person as well. MSO will get you a clean title as is.

    Insurance and Titling in the US

    I did not have to do the whole reconstructed vehicle process. I was able to get the title through AAA with my MSO. For the PA state inspection is where I needed all the street items. There was never any problem with the process. I have had vehicles in the past that were much different. The...

    Insurance and Titling in the US

    I used a hydraulic for the back and a micro switch for the front. Although not required, if the inspector is going to give you grief he could. It just makes the process less painful. BTW a KTM/Husky chain guard fits with little modification.

    Insurance and Titling in the US

    I converted my '17 MX to a road EX by installing all necessary items; high/low beam lights, front/rear switched brake lights, horn, mirrors, chain guard, DOT tires, safety reflectors, and turn signals. I didn't have to worry about the Db requirement. :) I have full coverage from my insurance...

    All Seven Alta Patents

    Not only was the design very elegant, the care to which each bike was assembled was aslo at a whole new level. I usually tear down a new bike when I get it to do the usual; grease bearings, reroute wires, Loctite bolts, etc. When I started on the Alta I found the work had already been done...

    This will be like Henry Ford once said, "You can have any color you want..................as long as it is black."

    Display Guard - Protect it from crashes!

    Got sidelined a little with the CNC as he had a rush job for a regular customer. He promised he will run the parts this weekend. I did get the first test piece from him which was designed as an EX forward mount with a steering stabilizer. I have it mounted on my bike and am going woods riding...

    Bultaco declared bankruptcy

    I don't know how many times I had come into a corner too hot, stabbed for the brake, and hit one of the many false neutrals. By then it was too late, my Sherpa T and I were over the hill. I don't think I ever really got accustomed to the right -side shift.

    Display Guard - Protect it from crashes!

    I intend to keep the Ohlins damper but if I need to remove everything to get the measurements and fitting I will do that. It will go right back on afterwards as I like the low and in front of the bars location for myself. The damper really cuts down the loose front end feel of stock. I think...

    Display Guard - Protect it from crashes!

    I will be making a mount for the MX as well as the EX style. I have the basic unit prototyped and programed, it is the mounting brackets to the steering stem I will finish in the next few days. As soon as I design it I will post up the results. If I have to I will tear off the front end of my...

    Display Guard - Protect it from crashes!

    That's a couple hundred pounds of aluminum bar delivered to the CNC. There is only one job ahead of the Alta guard run now! The two on the right are the speedo location style and the two on the left will be behind the steering stem style.

    Display Guard - Protect it from crashes!

    Hey guys leave enough that I can have one for my bike. Ha ha. I need to find an MXR in the Pgh area to get some measurements to see if I can help those that want a mount behind the steering stem. Anyone nearby with one shoot me a PM.

    Display Guard - Protect it from crashes!

    "Supercool. I'll definitely buy one... now that I've become an expert at crashing my Redshift!" I haven't achieved that level of "success" yet, but I did design it for an occasional dirt nap! For a bike this good to have such an Achille's heel is so unexpected. I love my Alta and have only...
