I guess I could have put this in the cheap mods sticky thread but a little different....i like resourcefulness...recycling. so when I got my willie g timing cover i had a stock one laying around so i drilled and tapped my breather cover to bolt on the stock timing cover to the front of it...pics attached...any other recycled stuff?

Thanks for the comments, guys. trnman, the breather cover was bought from the local dealership...harley brand...and is part of their machined slot theme-they have matching levers, shifters, mirrors...can't remember what they call the theme exactly.
