Those covers look excellent. Really great work. Bet you're well pleased with them.

If I ever sold the bike, (which I don't ever plan to do), I'd take them off & keep them.

Still quietly sorting out bits on this while working on my truck every afternoon.
I had a leather stirrup strap left over from the truck, so took it to a local saddlery shop who shortened it down & stitched a loop in each end to form a strap over the top of the battery. My truck has the same over the top of the fuel tank. I'm trying to build them as a matched pair, with as many shared features as possible.
After the saddlery shop, I collected a pile of parts from the powder-coaters. These were just easily unboltable bits that could be done in gloss black while the bike's just sitting in the garage, including both mudguards & their mounts, the rear light, number plate bracket, rear brake anchor arm etc. Unfortunately they had a problem with the mudguards, which kept reacting & wrinkling the finish. Not really a problem as they can be flatted back & spray painted.
I need to spend some time going through the bike, marking all the wiring holes that need drilling & any other modifications, then I can strip it down, smooth the frame out & get it off to the coaters.

That's not quite the idea of a classic bike meet. |
