Justin,
the bezel insert is a solid billet build. It started as a 6" round disk about 1.25" thick. Bolted down to a rotary table with a precision cross slide on a manual mill. 4 hrs later I have the piece with the oval outside and mating step and the odd shaped pocket to fit the vapor. It was all done on a manual mill - no CNC at all.
then about an hour of polishing for the high shine.

Justin,
So here are some close ups. Here is the dash before finishing. You can see more of the detail of it.
and if that wasn't enough take a look closely at the bike and look at the exhaust header clamp. That was a bit of custom work out of a solid piece of aluminum.
Machined to form, sanded to final shape, and then sand blasted all so it would look like a cast piece.

I'll bet you are just the Devil with an
Etch-O-Sketch.
No CNC, straight up manual,, I'm rarely envious.
Today, I make an exception.
That's some FINE work.
And I Did work in a machine shop.
I stunk the place up, but I Can sharpen a drill bit.

I REALLY like that exhaust clamp.
That was one of the cool things about the old British bikes that I loved.
Do you wanna sell one ? ?

Lancer,
I would love to go into business selling parts like this but since I am not currently owning a CNC I really can't. I have zero bandwidth these days (that is why my projects get so stretched out) so I really have no time to make them on the manual mill. Now....had I just sprung for that Tormach instead..............

Blue, How about a ride report ! Or is it a show bike , it is too pretty to ride that's for sure. Easy to high jack someone post just pop a pic in of your bike and everyone forgets what we were talking about. Great job a true one off !
