I was wanting to know if you had a way to cut out the compression cover and drill all the holes. I had a guy make me a brass plaque for the hope chest I am building, and had him in grave names on it. I thought it would be cool to make a compression cover out of solid brass and have the simplex logo in graved in it. He said he can't cut the circle, but he can get solid sheets of brass 12"x24".

Took a 10 day reprieve down in Virginia!  But  the bike is at the powder coaters now.  hoping to pick it up this Friday. Since the pictures I have made a bracket for the rear of the tail pipe.

Talked to the guy about the sheet of brass, he is wanting to do it, but I think I will wait till winter , too many coals in the fire right now. If you have a way of cutting the covers out and drilling the holes, it would be nice to get as many done out of the 12x24 sheet as will allow. I didn't realize there were different sizes, we could do some of both sizes if you want. Different engravings also.

Thanks.  Looking forward to the finale myself!  I have all of the bolts bagged and tagged. Assembly should go together smoothly.

Parts are back fro the powder coaters!  I immediately put the seat together. Turned out really nice. A lot of the parts are already on the frame so I am making progress to get it to the show.
