Very nice. When will you start taking orders?

 

Haha! NEVER!!!

 

Man, it is awesome. First time I see that, looking foward to see it on the bike !

 

Thanks. I have a slight confession to make. I am actually almost finished with it. I started this a month ago. I worked for weeks tweaking the lines and deepening the cuts. The rotary tool was used for the majority of the material removal, but the lines were all worked by hand to make them straight and even. Here it is a few weeks into it.

The primer was stripped once the pattern was complete cut. After deepening all the cuts their were scratches and small mistakes that surround some of the cuts so I sanded the entire surface area to smooth it all out. The black that is filling the cuts and low areas in these photos are just from the sanding.

 

Man im impressed seriously, cant find anything nor anyone else that did this you got ***** , lol

 

Dude that is sick! Well done, and I can't wait to see it all together and done.

 

Thanks. I think I spent $80 on the take off primary cover. I figure either way it would be worth it for the lesson in what to do or not to do. I firmly believe we learn from our mistakes so its worth it to me to make them.

 

So here we are after some polishing. Going up the ladder from 220, 500, 1000, 1200, 0000 steel wool, and finally a spiral stitched polishing wheel and polishing compound. I did this a couple times as I rushed through one of the grits and didn't get all the scratches out from the previous grits. This isn't the final polish yet.

Remember it took a month to get this far.

 

Looks pretty good. I like most of what you have done design wise. The work is great..

 

Thanks. Here is the final polish and where I am now. I have to make a decision on of I am going to fill the engraved areas with black or leave it as is.
