Awww man...I was looking forward to putting you in my Theater Of Pain My condolences on your injury WoodsChick
Bones fine tree limbs I will be sure to share when its real, i have seen your lists of wounds in the 'are you healthy' post. I feel pretty blessed. The stitches actually are working pretty good. If combined with duck tape, it might be good as new. Cheers
I have a skin stapler in my medical bag, and a nephew, that was a corpman in the service, I ride with, we have on one occasion used the stapler to fix up a fellow rider. Of course we dont stitch up side plates with it...... Mike
A little gorilla glue and the stitches might work. Got to love your attatude ("I will be sure to share when its real") Not if, but when...... Mike
I've had stitches on every dirtbike and almost every streetbike I've ever owned and they work great. Safety wire works better on the longer wounds, but I've had zip-tie stitches in the side panel of my 610 since about a week after I brought it home from the dealer and they are still there almost 3 years later WoodsChick
you should have gone the plastic surgeon route and stitched from the other side so the tabs would be hidden and only the straps would be seen. note for all: I Noticed the grab handle zip ty, good move, and valuable Husky mod for everyone, I started doing that the first time I lost the rear panel screw and had a flapping panel, I always put the zip on to retain the panel in case of screw loss. Its a good bullet proofing mod, its tough to ride with the panel flapping around, could cause a DNF!
Funny, I was thinking the same thing! Nice job though. Zip-tie tip: they can be removed without cutting by inserting a jewelers screwdriver at the catch point. This works best before cutting the excess however.
you guys are good, for the time it took.......I woulda just picked up new one and then got in trouble for buying more bike stuff
only took 15 mins or so... even less to order the new part that came in 3 days. my roomie (mr. honda *barf*) thought i was lying, OE parts, dirt cheap, delivered FAST. showed him my recpt. husky rules.
Hey pvduke That is just plain ART. Enter it in an exhibit somewhere. Some great and fun comments out of a silly post. Thanks.
Yea, & as soon as your replace it with a new part, it breaks again on the next ride. Happens all the time to me anyway I have a special area just for plastics. Never know when you can piece something together for awhile.
