treeinspector Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Hello BSN. I am in the final stages of approval for my biker scout kit and wanted to get your opinion ahead of time before I submit my pics. Here's the backstory: this bucket is a Studio Creations v1.0 that was originally purchased in 2010 and approved through the FL garrison. It was later transferred to another person and approved again in 2012 in the MidSouth Garrison. When I received it, it had some issues. The paint had yellowed, vinyl was peeling, incorrect snout paint scheme, incorrect snout greeblie, etc. I've added the correct greeblie, had it professionally repainted, and replaced the vinyl. As far as I know, I've met every aspect of the CRL. I just wanted to get a quick sanity check and see if I'm good to go for submission. Thanks in advance!
4505Marcel Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 If I was being honest, I'd be asking for that back seam to be filed so it cannot be seen. 2
treeinspector Posted March 1, 2015 Author Posted March 1, 2015 Is that a requirement for basic (not Lancer) approval? It doesn't say anything in the CRL about it. This helmet has already been approved with the seam twice. I plan on actually getting a new bucket as soon as possible that would be big enough to accommodate a fan and voice mod. I just wanted to know if I could go ahead and get approved with this one.
Chex Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Yeah, the back seam does need to be filled in and repainted. That helmet would have never been approved in the Florida Garrison. I'm on the membership team and have never seen that helmet come through.
treeinspector Posted March 1, 2015 Author Posted March 1, 2015 I was told that it was approved in FL in 2010 and I know for a fact that it was approved in MidSouth in August 2012. I guess it just slipped through. Oh well, back to the body shop.
treeinspector Posted March 1, 2015 Author Posted March 1, 2015 I've got a replacement back and top piece on the way from Studio Creations. That should fix it.
4505Marcel Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 I wouldn't personally allow basic clearance as us sorry, but it would be down to your garrison GML
Gato Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Yeah, dont think our GML will let that seam pass in GA.
uscstaylor Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 I would just sand the seam area down and then just Bondo it, then sand it down again and paint it again. Will look great then. Good job so far though! 1
treeinspector Posted March 1, 2015 Author Posted March 1, 2015 Yeah I checked and it won't jive. This was the v1.0 Studio Creations bucket. Jeff at Studio Creations is hooking me up with the 2.0 seamless replacement piece. Thanks everyone.
Gato Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 That's good. I know it would suck to have to repaint it again after you just got it back from the shop.
CRISTONAMO Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 So, you got yours professionally painted at a body auto shop? What was the price for that if I may ask? I'm looking to do that with my two helmets, one has a horrid orange tint in it.
