i'm with him ^^^

i like to have a blank that i could mask and sandblast a relief in to. then i'd rub some matte black in to the blasted areas leaving the surrounding areas raised and polished.
some variation of this pic:

though, at that size i will have to lose a lot of detail..... maybe on the derby instead?

Nothing in there, but remember, it gets pretty warm.

So do you have a tube that comes out of the cover and hooks into your full face helmet and look like a Cheech & Chong movie?

I did something similiar with my Ammo coin a while back.
Mine is a 2010 Iron so it has that little rim around the center.
I took my dremel and sanded down the center that has the HD symbol of the cover and sanded down the back of the coin.
I took JB weld and centered and attached it. I started to pin it in place and them use JB weld...but so far mines been holding up for a couple hundred miles so far.
I painted it flat black.
I loved how it came out and others want me to make them one.
I also did one on my buddies Ultra Classic and I put it on his oil dipstick...I'll see if I can get pics of it today...it looks pretty cool!

It's nice to make your own but these guys make really sweet pieces with different sized cut-outs to fit any coin you want.

Here's an example for a big twin, but they make 2-hole for Sportsters, too.
