Awhile back I posted some pics of my Aussie friend's new R3 that were taken in the shop where it was to be customized. I received photos of the beautifully completed modifications and Einar asked me to post them with his comments. I can't recall if I had mentioned it previously but several years ago Einar's earlier model Rocket was totaled in an accident. Comment's are Einar's
A screen from Powerbronze, small but both stylish and highly effective.
See the carbon fibre fender, giving the bike a bagger look, as well as protecting it. The Triumph hugger was tiny and ineffective. The number plate was made for a frame which has an auxiliary LED running and brakelight, as well as LED lighting for the plate itself.
A view from the shaft drive side - the fender was made to conform to the complicated shapes, and also incorporated a protected location for electrical connectors. The fender was designed and fitted by Clyde Carstairs at Bravo Resources, whilst Windrush Yachts made the item.
The auxiliary lights are dimmable LEDs from Clearwater in California, and I had them fitted exactly in line with the headlights. The extra lights function as daytime running lights, but go to full power as soon as high beam is switched on. These lights are the best ones on the market, very powerful, and made in the US at exquisite quality.
The brackets were designed in CAD, then cut from aluminium, then polished and finished by hand, and then anodised to match the forks and the lights. Everything was made to be adjustable. Clyde Carstairs of Bravo Resources did everything here, from design to fitment.
The dimmer switch, which enables you to vary light level with conditions, had a small bracket made, to mount it as if it were part of the stock bike. You can increase the light output manually if you need to ride with low beam in darkness.
