Medyo: Here's an inside and outside shot of my cover.

I'll get the guy's name for you by Monday.




I cleaned the yellow stuff out before installing. Don't know what it was, but had something to do with the reinforcements.

that would be fabulous!  that cover looks beautimous!

The man responsible for me having colour on my engine is Jim, I remember reading his build thread and when he painted them red I yelled out WTF are you doing Jim :o     after looking at the build over a few months it grew on me, eventually I thought it was  8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

Many good and sometimes expensive ideas on these forums!
I have now realized ideas that I initially said WTF, never I pay or do that! I have at least 4 purchases the last year, one more under development.
My last restore taking my bike on the road 2014 is closing the price of a new bike.... I have a growing pile of additonal parts I purchased along the restore path that was superseeded by much better and newer $$$$.  I have become a CB750 nerd.  I understand you CB750 horders much better now!
