well, this is something i have been meaning to do for a while now, and with trying to clean the bike up for biketoberfest i decided to tackle it with john (my buddy who just bought a warrior)

this is a simple and next to free mod, for a few dollars and a few hours you could probably do this your self, if you have any questions feel free to ask

this is what my bike looks like now [/emoticons/emotion-6.gif] (more on that later)
Image


looks like im gonna have to do some fiber glass work... which means mine isnt getting finished today [/emoticons/emotion-6.gif!]
Image


bracket/holder i fabricated, more on that in a min
Image


another image, showing the slight bend in it (whats that down below?)
Image


where i got the material for it, yes thats a baking pan (thanks mom!!! [/emoticons/emotion-5.gif]), notice i kept part of the edge/bend, makes it stronger
Image


reuse of the original rectifier holder, remember cheap mods
Image


another view
Image


how the recitifier looks mounted up close
Image


How the Bracket fits in the cowl, note the cut out so the oil filter fits, no problem, you would swear i thought this through
Image


Bracket simply sandwhichs between the lower cowl and the bracket to hold it on the bottom
Image


although not my bike, you get the idea on johns bike, rat bastards cowl was in one piece [/emoticons/emotion-5.gif]
Image


little further back, were going to cover the hole in the cowl with mesh that matches the speed star scoops, should really dress it up
Image


Heres some with the new screen
Image


Heres one from a little further back with the Screen
Image


johns bike all clean and good to go...
Image



my bike all clean and ready to go...
Image





notes:
1. yes my bike is very dirty, i have been busy modding it, it scheduled for a bath and detailing wed..
2. the baking pan was one of the heavy duty ones, and is fairly strong especially since i kept the edge, and even added that additional bend... they will be painted to protect against the elements
3. the horn is being relocated behind the cowl as well, i will post updated pics, once my glass work is completed, and i mount my horn...
4. i positioned it to still get good air flow, fairly close to the opening, and with the mesh screen in place that i have planed, you will probably never see it!!!!

well, my bike still isnt finished yet, but it will be first thing tommarrow morning, waiting for the fiberglass to harden, in the mean time here are some more pics of johns bike with the screen added

I think it matches the speed scoop pretty well

Looks awesome...when you get the horn moved, you can relocate the brake spring and light switch under the bike along the frame (another good FREE mod) and then take a grinder to that HUGE bracket on the peg mount. REALLY cleans it up there. I was able to mount my video camera there when I went through the dragon.

If you need pics of how I did it, PM me.

Good Work Matt.
