    OR this works better, instead of reading through that whole thread.

    Well I didn't have a complete short track kit. So I made my own upper brackets and modified the rad brackets. I had to bend and pull on the shrouds a bit, then you have to drill your own holes. It was a little pain, but not too bad. Any backyard mechanic can manage to make them look like that.

    I'm getting ready to install my new DC Plastics Shrouds on my bike and I am less than impressed with the intial quality. They must have changed them because there is no hole to access the lower tank bolt like the oe's or even the ones in riverrat's photo. It sucks that our options are pretty much limited when it comes to S/T shrouds.

    I'll keep everyone posted on the installation.

    I am making the shrouds for the short track tank kit available for sale on shapeways.
    **WARNING** These have not yet been tested, buy at your own risk!!
    So if someone who has money to burn wants to test these, that would be awesome. I already spent a small fortune getting them scanned.

    Dude, that is awesome. I respect and appreciate what you do....but that's just not even close to being cost effective.. whole kits of sold complete for a little more. Wish I was closer I'd at least do a mock up and see of the fit the factory brackets... GL

    I beg to differ. Let's put this in perspective. I've been watching ebay for the last 7 years for these, and never has then been just the shrouds NIB, NOS for sale. Complete NOS kits are going for $2000. That puts the worth of a NOS shrouds at $800. As a matter of fact, I've only seen just a handful of NOS kits come up in the last 7 years. Used kits could be had for over $1000, but that's not the point. With these kits getting rarer and rarer, they will become worth even more money. Do we want to race something that is worth so much?

    So while the cost of the originals will go up and up, these will come down and down. Right now, the cost is even to a little better for the 3D printed ones. Not to mention they can be dyed any color. P.S. I also have the tank scanned, it just needs some more work on the computer to make it usable. Then that can be dyed as well. Good things are coming. There will always be a small number of people racing these kits, and they will need replacements. This is the cost effective solution, since no-one is going to produce these again. The detail on these also blows away DC shrouds and should fit just as well as the originals, not to mention the color options.

    Right now, someone has the chance to buy the very first pair of 3D printed shrouds! and also help contribute to the development. The machine this is made on cost 1.5million dollars, but the key patents to that machine are expiring this summer. Plus new technologies are coming out monthly it seems, and it won't be long before we can print these at very affordable prices. I mean right now for less than 2K I could build a machine that prints it, but the resolution won't match the shapeways machines that use Stratsys machines.

    Riverrat have you thought of finding someone who does injection plastic molding? I am sure if you contact someone if you have a scan of shroud an injection plastic mold co may give you an estimate of what a mold would cost. Just a thought

    10-25k for molds, and probably equal amount to do a run.

    Is that a worx pipe?
