I drew the part up in Solidworks, programmed it for a Haas mill with HSMWorks.
After machining I painted it in flat black and mounted the coin in the pocket.

That is the best timing cover I've ever seen. Great job. Blends right in but stands out at the same time. You could sell those things...

They look really nice. I've been wanting to do something to my bike like this, other than the sticker I have on my sissy bar.

Thank you very much. I'm hoping the paint holds up, its satin high temp grill paint. So far so good.
I ended up with 3 of my '48' covers to boot.
One all plastidipped, one clear coated aluminum face with black numbers and one clear coated black face and alum numbers.

I really think I like the USMC coin the best.
