    Novel use of my GSR Patches

    I was staring at my Rooster fairing and at the little speaker grills that I had covering the vacant holes when it dawned on me. I wonder if I can somehow fit my patches into those speaker covers?....hmmmmmmm...
    Well, as it turns out, I could, and I think they came out pretty darn good. Here ya go...






    I think it's funny how the blue on the right and red on the left looks like cold and hot on the sink faucet.
    So, wha'dya think?

        No, it isn't. It's blue. Never trust a picture.

            Now that's pretty cool.

            Did you make the clear window for it too or was it already like that?

                That's downright fantastic. I can't wait to get home and get mine sewn on my tank bag.

                  I just happened to have some remnants of 1/8" thick plexiglass in the garage I had left over from when I made lowers for the windshield of the Honda Shadow I used to have. I made the windows out of that. I just cut the grills out of the speaker covers and on the back side was an indentation just exactly the same diameter as the patches. I cut the plexiglass to that diameter and fit them down inside the groove, siliconing them in. I put the patches on the the window, and then cut out covers from some thin flexible black plastic I had to hold it all together. It's like these speaker covers were meant for this. When I first took the speaker cover off the fairing to look at the back of it, the patch fit right down into that groove and I thought, "Hey, this could work!"
