Too bad I can't sneak something like that onto our 3x machine at work.
Well maybe I could, we've got aluminum billet just sitting around. Just
couldn't make any in any volume! Such a shame, all this power and the
inability to use it for cool bike stuff. The other day I drew up an ST
swingarm, wheel and a Michelin tire as solid models. Uhh, it's
practice! Makes a really cool background...
Joe, how about a picture of your mod?
