Title: Seat Cowl Fastener Bling
Post by: oldndumb on April 04, 2013, 11:57:44 AM
Pic describes how a DucaBike frame plug was re-worked to use as a cowl screw. Only a few grams lighter  ;), but definitely blingyer.

That looks great,

but what's the cost compared to say the Desmoworld bolts?

I paid $32.99 from an ebay dealer. Haven't the foggiest idea what they would have cost from Desmoworld. I wanted to match the rest of the DucaBike parts on her. Head nut, rear sets, and oil plug. The rest of the bits are CNC.

Anyway, I have quit looking at the Desmoworld site due to the inconsistent translations. Maybe it is my computer, but regardless as to why, it is just not conducive for my use.
