a bright idea or dumb idea?

[tidos76]

i was sitting in my garage last night thinkin about if i should repaint my shee. i leaned against the shelf and my bag of titanium sheet metal fell and landed on the counter in front of me. then it came to me. screw painting i'll just cover my plastics with metal. i have a lot of metal work experience and access to a hydraulic break so i know i can do it. but what are you opinions on a metal plated shee? they are 3"x3" plates and i would put them so it looked like and old patched up airplane. so what ya think

would it look like this?

naa. banshee are already to heavy, plus wouldn't the plastic droop from the added weight??. na thats just a mess waitin to happen i think(not doubting you can do it or anything)

i'm not worried about weight. i just ride to have fun. pus the titanium is lights. it wourld only add about 3-5 lbs and with me only weighing 150. as for the drooping i have full boar rear plastics so there thick and they are race cut. so i wont have to worry about any fenders. my only worry is how well the rivets will hold. i'll atleast have to get 1/2" rivets so it will go all the way through to the bottom of the plastic.

rivets will suck we took off the warning labels on my buddies bike they kept coming off all the time we used stainless (small) bolt and nut set it looks really good

hey i never hered of it yet. i think itll be sweet expecially with 3" x 3" squares, mabye angle them? id have to agree with buddy above. fuck the rivets go with stainless nuts and bolts..... i just thought about the weight that would add tho. hmmmmm

now THIS is alot more work BUT, cross lacing it togeather with thin solder wire would be pretty cool... but i think that would be big time dune looking. cant be hard on work like that.

fuck the bolts. go with rivets. but stainless for sure it would look good with the ti.
