I decided to try this myself. I cut the tab off with of all things a hack saw the help of a bench grinder and dremel cleaned things up nicely. I positioned it back on the bike to mark where the tab had to be relocated. A local welder did a great job welding it into the new position and with some more dremel work and sanding I then painted it with Dupont low gloss engine enamel. The finish looks better than the origional. Bad thing is it takes 7 days to cure. Also did a small amount of grinding to the caliper so the banjo bolt would go back on from under the swing arm and the inner swing arm needed a small amount removed also.

Nice job. It will sure look good on the bike.

jimmy2,
If it's looks that count, this is one of the best welded brackets i've seen yet []

Since the Forum guide lines are, For completed and installed mods only!!!. you are obligated to return to report to us the completed documented assembly per JPWARRIOR! [^] [] []

Nice one Alan!

+2 [] .... I have my time and money invested in 1-windowed chrome bracket and 1-stock chromed bracket in the classified so it's not going to happen in this lifetime for me []

That is a very good looking bracket and this is a very good mod for the warrior.

Please tell me you didn't paint the threaded part were the banjo goes and get paint inside the caliper itself.

I guess it's not that hard to clean up though.

Great work!!

Wow, that looks great. I have wanted to do that mod since day 1 but have not had the balls yet.

Just when I thought I was done for the winter....

Looks great!!

great job! Let us know how the install goes!

This mod is on my short list also. Looks great and boosted my confidence.[]

Nice work , you'll love the look..I think personally that this mod along with deleating the rotor disc cover plate cleans up a bike on that side so much, it really is a nice mod ....again as... Alan said good clean job![^] A+ on the weilder

Before I painted the caliper I pressed in 3M rope caulk into the caliper banjo bolt opening making sure paint didnt go inside or on top where the fitting seals. I pulled out the caulk after the paint was dry to touch. I also put caulk inside where the caliper pins go into the bracket and also the axle opening.

Wow, that looks good:}:}
