Working on a 5" razor pro deck plate

[CTRider]

The start of my 5" razor pro. I wear size 13 shoes but don't have to money for a deck right now nor do I want to take a 150+ dollar chance on deck width, so I'm making a new deck plate from 1/4" lexan, good stuff. Still have some work to do but here's the general idea.

you could buy a lucky, do it on a razor ultra pro, or buy a tsi

looks legit, but its probably gona feel weird

excellent idea bro

Don't have the money for a lucky or tsi although I badly want a lucky haha. A razor ultra pro may be in the near future. Like I said though, this gives me a chance try try out a 5" deck width before I buy one at least.

It's only adding 1/4" to the deck height so I hope not too much. I need to buy taller bars pretty soon anyway so that would probably even out the feel.

Finished it. Grip tape is crap though because I ran out haha. Haven't gotten a chance to ride it because it's raining out.

man that looks funky haha. but homemade stuff is always fun

looks like a piece of shit glued to the deck.........nice failure

 

[mcnutty93]

how is it kept in place

Thanks ass hole. It actually has counter sunk screws underneath the griptape, done the right way rather than having bolts sticking through. Now, go make fun of someone else, might make you feel cooler.

Looks intreasting tell us if it works good.
what exactly did you use? plastic or metel or what? ive never heard of lexan

 

[CTRider]

Lexan is a strong, clear plastic. The same material they use on mythbusters for blast shields and is used to make bulletproof glass.

 

[ColteR LammeY]

sweet so its proboly not very heavy either?

 

[CTRider]

Ya it's light, that's why I went with lexan over aluminum plate.

id say drop the 25 or w.e on a tsi deck plate. and just like hot glue it to your deck, liquid nails if u dnt wanna dirll holes. or u can drill holes and save time. soo much easier than that stuff

props man, sick idea. how expensive is lexan and where do you get it? the mod seems simple enough and i want to try it.

I'm cheap, and love fabricating. If I wanted it aluminum, I have metal available. I made it from lexan because it's lighter and 1/4 plastic wont hurt as badas hitting my ankles with 1/8" aluminum.

You can get lexan online from material suppliers. Not sure how much it is, I get mine from a machine shop.
