Holes - big ones! Lots of 'em! They would improve the look of the chequer plate no end!

That's actually pretty cool! I'm not a fan of chequer plate either, but it's usually done as random panels slapped on the side of trikes & trucks. Yours is maybe the only nice example I've seen -looks fitted, like a carpet almost, with the ribs looking like the weave in material. I'm impressed you made such a neat job of it, even lining up the pattern on the gearbox tunnel & the panel above. I'm still not convinced about c/plate in general though -I always think it shows a lack of imagination & style.

I'm with Monkey on this..dislike the use of it ..there is a company that make biker face masks with it ? To give you the "I'm tuff look " oh dear ! I did say to Martin perhaps we could drill some holes into the stuff..he mumbled some naughty words at me..prudently I ran away..

Ive re used some of the original on mine, but there is much less. It kind of feels right because its a rebuild.

Wow they loaded up before I'd finished typing ? Sorry if the quality is rubbish ( had to resize them ?) the headstock isn't painted because I haven't fully welded it up yet..
