had a friend weld on this shark finthe other day. we used an msr shark fine as a template. it's a bitto far too the rearfor my liking so i'm going to cut it off, cut up a new one and have it welded to the inside edge of the swingarm. i just wanted to show this one as it is first







these photos aren't the best but you get the idea.

 

isnt it supposed to be more towards the front of the bike than the rotor? so if you hit something it hits the shark fin first? back to the drawing board....

 

Eric, I think he is saying exactly what you are. That's why he's going to cut it off and re-do it.

 

oops.... read through it too fast..... kinda like a "mens" magazine.... just looked at the pics... lol.

 

The only problem I see with that design is that it will still allow rocks and sticks to get wedged in between the fin and the rotor, now I see why they make the fins wrap around the rotor. Good luck with the design.

 

On the forward edge of your shark fin, you have a little piece extending out. Since that is such a pretty weld, might I suggest just adding a piece to the front of your fin, rather than cutting it off? You could have your friend weld it up, then grind the beads flush. Here's a quick, crappy drawing to show you what I'm talking about:

 

yeah we might just add to the fin as it is.as far as things getting stuck between the fin and the rotor. it's not an issue.we've done a few bikes with these. we ride in some pretty nasty stuff and the fin has not caused any problems that i'm aware of.
