Thanks for the warm welcome gang. Good to meet ya's. :D


A solo seat set-up, with some custom carbon pieces, that will add practical usefullness, and speed of course. :rolleyes:

Good to see someone with a 2019! I don't have one yet... obviously. I have the super Jones for one, but I'm excited to see a new tw on the street!
2018 actually. I put a grand down on it in the spring, then gave them a grand or so each month till it was delivered. The TW200 is starting to get popular, and I wanted this one before my buddies caught wind.

Bumble, I love solo seats but I haven't seen any on T-Dubs that looked very good.
Too much ugly stuff under the seats.
Not like my old Nortons, Triumphs & BSAs!

I'll get some pics of the seat up soon. The solo-seat mod won't work for the long-legged types. I'm wee @ 5foot, 2inches, 145lbs. Bike looks huge beside me lol.
As for the exposed top of the rear fender, I'm tooling a snazy cover to make it look nice. Then a Condor back pack will be bolted onto that for snacks.
This winter will be used for getting the first mods done. I'll show yaz all. Cheers.

Here some tail-cover pics

The plug is nearly done.
I mold-release-agented the area, laid up 4-layers of glass / epoxy, to make the shell, mudded it, then mounted it to a board for rebating it.
I'll cast the mold when I'm satisfied with the plug's finish, then lay-up the part.

Morning Gang. Got some more show & tell. Finished the plug, and now the mold for the tail-top is ready. Gonna cast a quick one out of it, to check fit (getting old, eyes and hands now lie to each other).

Check it:

Door handle Soap dish Table Handle
Automotive exterior Hood Rectangle
Automotive exterior Bumper Auto part Metal


Working on a flash-mold to whip off an under-tail light/plate mount too. I'm not planning on manufacturing or selling these items,
I just want to share my tinkerings with ya'all, to hopefully spread some creative inspiration.

:D

Got a tail-top out of the mold. Used 4-layers of 6oz. carbon cloth. First one up to aboot the fifth one out the mold, is always a learning experience. It's slickness is a thin layer of epoxy resin applied, to fill all the wee pinholes. That, will be sanded with 400g paper, then heavy oil rubbed into it, to give a practical, working finish. Don't want any fancy-pants shiney bits on my bike... :pride:

Check it:

Sanded & oiled:
