Looks awesome! I'm jealous. You could start making those and turning a profit. Material is relatively inexpensive I assume?

I got this posted around a few spots and everyone says that, this is definetly a one off. By hand I would say 10 hrs, with a 4 axis mill guess 15 minutes....

I was just pissed I could not find a 1 1/8" clamp with relocators.

man that looks like crap........ actually thats the nicest ive ever seen....... just as good or probably better than those one u can purchase ....... i think its prolly better........ looks frekin nice...... i made one for my 2005 400ex out of a sheet of aluminum.... i liked it but urs makes mine look like crap

[redrunner]

Thanks for the comments,
I am just lucky enough to have barely enough skill to make it, along with the equipment and time. I really just want to show what someone can do on their own and be creative. Alot of you young guy's out there are doing some great stuff and that's what keeps industry, economy and America going.....:D

What young guys? lol:o

The access to the tools is the key for me. I have the knowlege but can't afford the tools.:p Your ignition holder is much more creative/elaborate than mine. Mine is just a thin sheet of aluminum cut and drilled to fit but hey it works.:p That Z of your is looking pretty battle ready now. :cool:

you should PC it blakc or yellow though

The original plan was to go stealth black like my side covers but then I got an offer to polish it so I went that way. If I keep it long enough I am sure it will get scratched up then I'll go there...

yea that would be cool i need a cover where my light used to be on the steering stem
