I hope you guys/gals like it.
It's in the theme of a bead lock wheel. I only planned on doing the graphic... but as time was running late I decided to do the mount too. But time was really running late so I had to have Jeff over at Bear Valley Fab do the fab on it.
I painted it this evening with 2000 degree safe paint. Got UV resistant Lexan and high temp silicone to seal it all from sun & moisture.
The photo will still fade over time... but I have the file saved and pre-printed several copies so we can change it out every year at the TDay Ride.
Just mocked up here with no Lexan installed yet:
It is meant to be just off the ground about 4 to 6 inches. The post is meant to be buried about 2 feet.
Who is bring digging tools and concrete and water ?
Lastly, this project did end up costing about $175. Doesn't look like much but stuff adds up for Lexan, Cad plated grade 8 bolts, etc etc. I have no problem funding it myself. But if anyone else wants to share the costs that's OK too.
If you want to toss a few bucks into the hat to cover costs just make a donation to RIDERS
