Kind of a radical idea, but does anyone know if making the saddlebags from a custom pepakura file would work? From what I've heard, pep builds reinforced with fiberglass and bondo are relatively strong. Might also be faster and cheaper than carving a buck and molding it.

Anybody see the new movie on Netflix?
I said I wasn't going to get my hopes and I'm glad I didn't, seemed to me he kinda phoned it in, he went in and out of character and the story was lacking, I guess it was better than Big Top though.
P.S., I do want a Pee-wee switchblade now

Looking good! ,I was starting to think everyone gave up on their bike projects, it's been pretty quiet around here lately.

Been working on my bike lately. I installed the bags I got from Ruddigger and I really like how it came out. I set the bags a little bit more centered to make the bags balance a little better for rides. The movie bike has the bags set back a little further, but I am more comfortable this way since I plan to ride it more. Thanks for the help Ruddigger!
I was wondering if your willimg to share thr file. My local library has a 3d printer. I actually bought a tiger head from greg on this thread but it fell off my bike and broke

With some encouragement from h0taspho, I took another look at the 3D model of the tiger. I was able to use Meshmixer to re-contour the head. I was pretty excited that I was able to do it! I think the results turned out pretty good. I am now having one 3D printed to see what the resulting quality looks like.
Im excited that I finally have all the pieces except for the cnc piece that goes on the back skirt and on the chain gaurd.. This last weekend I was able to work on and finish the chain gaurd. I ordered some new tires since the old ones have been on there for 3 years now along with a new shiny kickstand. Only things left on the to do list is to weld some pieces, make the property sign, 3d print another tiger head, cut open the door to the bags and give it a paint and one day get the cnc pieces. (they are so damm expensive).
On that not does anyone know the dimensions on the property sign and should i get brass or copper? I was quoted 13 dollars I was wondering if that is a good deal
Secondly, in the picture with the siren where should i get the welds done on it? it is the original bracket from the siren.
on a side note I probably could have finished this bike along time ago. Paramedic school was an expensive and busy journey that finishes in a month and a half

I did have some new tiger siren parts printed after doing some tweaks on the models. I am overall happy with how they turned out. They were printed in Shapeway's strong and flexible plastic. I am hoping the result is as good in PLA and ABS. They of course still require some painting.
