Nice looking calipers.
I think my emblems came out ok, not bad for an amature machinist.  |

Made this seat out of a stock seat base. Added the higher bolsters and did all of the upholstery. First time ever using a sewing machine.
Watched a couple of youtube videos and went to work.  |

I'll follow Mark's lead on the motorcycle stuff. Here's a carbon/kevlar tank I made for my custom SV 650.

My homemade engine test stand to do carb tuning & cam break-in.
Much easier to fuss with linkage and idle tuning here. Fuel feed is 2 gal tank perched on high shelf   |

You guys have a lot of talent. I love the go for it attitude. We are the ones that give it a try when other people say, What how do you do that? It has been like that my whole life. I do not get it. It seams like a natural thing. It has always been my thinking that what is the worst it can be. It is not like the Wright brothers.
You will not die in most cases. Bob B |
