Dremel for bobbing (Read 113 times)

Tiefighterpilot Senior Member Offline Daily Rider Posts: 346 San Francisco	Dremel for bobbing 05/23/10 at 09:55:38 Anyone use dremel for modification work on the bike? Just and cutting off fender, fabricating licence bracket, etc? Just wondering if I should fabricate stuff or buy premade kits. Kits feels like its a easier way, but also I would not have the satisfaction of saying... I made that.

I do agree it's good to say "I made that". Clive W p.s. I made an insert for my silencer to quieten it some.

Personally, I don't find many uses for the dremel. It's too small and most of the attachments just don't hold up for me. I prefer a good angle grinder, a porta-band & a die grinder.

If you have the tools and ability to make something yourself, do it. There is no satisfaction like it, plus you end up with a product that is one of a kind. Something to be proud of!!
