GuyJames Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 **corny tv shopping voice** and it is an easy wipe surface for when that evil grime gets on it, all this and more crap for only £99.95 the "crap" is not refering to the booster, looks cool, good work (Y) Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punkrider Posted June 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 I wasn't sure if to drill it or not, would it weaken it? It ways 142g at the moment (Y) Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomm Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 Looks nice, but 142g for a booster that doesn't need to be there is a bit silly. Plus I don't reckon that's a very good material to be using... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark-399 Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 i think u should put it on the bk with a magi an tell us what eh flew is like (Y)" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punkrider Posted June 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 I just saw the perspex, and thought, i have nothing better to do (well except revision (Y) ) So i tried different designs on my bike, 3 hours later, you have a booster :huh: Do you think it would weaken it a lot if i was to drill it?

Chris Cook Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 I just saw the perspex, and thought, i have nothing better to do (well except revision :P ) So i tried different designs on my bike, 3 hours later, you have a booster :huh: Do you think it would weaken it a lot if i was to drill it? Adam ← I don't think it will weeken it at all ! I think that looks well cool (Y) Put it on the back or make one for the back. Then it will be well good. DRILL IT ! good work :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 i think u should put it on the bk with a magi an tell us what eh flew is like :huh:" ← You tool. This is what it would be like on a rear magura. Do you think it would weaken it a lot if i was to drill it? ← Any other material, no, but as your using perspex i wouldn't really recommend it. You need all the mass you can get in there for it to actually be on any use, and i'm not even sure if that is going to be, but hey, as you did it to pass by the revision time and taking a break from it, good on you. Could of made it more symmetrical though. (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam ← Simply drilling holes in it will invariably weaken it, how much is hard to say though. Same goes for any material, the hole prevents stresses travelling through the material properly and causes them to build up around the hole. It's much better to mill away material leaving an i-beam shape (as previously said) or to leave it alone. As for putting it on the back, it might work, perspex is actually pretty stiff, but does break quicker than say steel or aluminium. If it's thick enough it could well work as a rear booster. I have to say that although as a part it looks nice, but I'm not a fan of boosters on the front :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punkrider Posted June 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 How would i go about making an I-beam? To drill or not to drill, that is the question, some one help me :huh: Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mat hudson Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 as it really isnt doing anythig you should drill accross in a cheker patern so there are lots of long thin tubes going through the booster then fill them with red ink(Y) (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
