i understand fully.
when you picture something in your head it is perfect
.
then when you render it in your favorite medium and you see little imperfections here and there,or it didn't come out just right :sick: ,you want to crumple it up and throw it in the garbage
.
but in all reality if you have never built the part before,the first one is really a prototype.
so if the first one is even useable you are ahead of the curve.
i know what you mean tho,
i hate to waste material and don't want to build one just to figure out how i should do it.
keep us posted,

True ,but what it truly does is make me want to go out and buy a shear and brake and work on learning more about sheet metal fab.

Well its been a little while, my son has kept me busy over the last few weeks on his truck,plus all the other work I had the bike has been on the back burner. But when I get a min or two I throw new ideas around, I have been toying with making a new set of engine covers. A clutch,points and stator and maybe a valve cover. But at some point I need to stop Fu$king around and finish this thing,there are other bikes waiting in the wing to be done. I am thinking of machining all the covers with see through windows this is what I have drawn up so far.
Clutch cover
Points cover

I have seen the ones from Klasmo Harvey there pretty cool. I made one back in the early 90's for an old kaw that I had and I made one for a yamaha banshee I built a few years ago, thats why I think it would be cool to do a set for the kaw I am building now because you never see a set just the clutch cover. As far as dirty oil if you change the oil every 1500 miles or so it dont look bad.
This is the banshee that I built that had one I will try to find a pic of it.
The green kaw is the one I built the clutch cover for this pic was taken at daytona in the mid 90's
