I was looking at the whole decorative aspect of my C5 Mil, I've made saddlebags, and fork bags. A very kind soul by the handle of b.sheets is helping me with a holster project, so I decided to go ahead and work on a pedestrian slicer. The cost of the standard nfield gear slicer is very reasonable, but I want to make my own for the style of it. The other factor that plays into my mind is that I don't want to drill holes in my fender and the standard slicers all seem to mount directly through the fender.
For base material I've decided to use an ammo can. I'm planning on bringing the mount up and over from the front fender mount screws. then for the rear I was thinking to set it on a pedestal with a rare earth magnet to keep it from sliding around. I've got pictures of the first few steps thus far, but I find myself wanting to go to bed so I'm posting what I got done and how.
The first step was to make a template. I used a Mountain Dew box, held it up and had my wife draw a line around the box using the fender as a contour guide. After that I cut the line, then made a rather cheezy protractor using another piece of cardboard. The protractor allowed me to extend the curve out by a half an inch and again by another couple of inches so it would still match contour for the spot where it mounts. I test fit it then chose the design of ped slicer I wanted off of google. Trimmed it up and test fit again.
