Well, I finally got around to finishing my mod on my belt covers.

I used:
1 dremel.
2 Coping Saw with fine toothed blade.
3 Files, ranging from flat bastard to round bastard. ;D
4 Drill.
5 Beer.  [thumbsup]

I roughed out with a pencil of what i wanted, just sort of free handed it, but for the straight bits, used a rule. I did the top cover first ages ago, before my accident and wanted to get the bottom cover done asap.

So, here goes:

I had already done the first few cuts before I realised that this may inspire some people, so I whipped the camera out.

Note how straight my cutting is  [roll], that's what the Dremel and files are for. ;)

Fancy then, are you gonna give'em a coat of paint?
Or leave them grey plastic.

And no, I'm not painting them because of rocks and other crap would just take the paint off, plus, getting that top cover on would scratch the F*CK off the paint before even getting it into position...

And, on the bike...

Just a few hours work and a bit of patience. you don't want to start ripping in with a bastard on thin plastic, you'll break the cover. ;)

Hey super a good trades man cleans up after each job,you are band from the shop for a week(http://www.1098-forum.com/forums/images/smilies/ban.gif)

This is my workshop and I will leave however I damn well please...

I'm the foreman here.

But yeah, the place needs a clean. [roll]

That looks really Schweet! A little anodising behind on pulleys would set it right off  8)

very very nice love the handy work [thumbsup]

Nice work Super [clap] I say leave em grey as well [thumbsup]

and what a funny collection of shit you have on the workbench  [thumbsup]

oh yeah, and well done, they look great

There's a few AMCN's lurking under there somewhere, paint brushes, tools, foil!?!? (I think I use that to wrap my paint brushes in so I don't have to keep washing them after a days painting)

After work, I'm going home to start cleaning the place up, I've got a home brew to bottle.  ;)

I just accumulate so much sh*t in such a small space of time it's unbelievable.  [roll]

I was running with no covers for a while and liked that look as well, but after cutting up those covers and putting them back on, I like this better.

I just noticed the first aid book is still there, to the left. That's there from when I broke my toe. Was trying to fix myself up. [laugh] [laugh]

At least you can work in your workshop.... Come round and take a peek in my garage some day - just enough room for the bikes  [laugh] [laugh]

Fine job Super. [clap]  I've got CF covers but I must say that I'm quite tempted to have a go myself.
Hmmm....

Hey Soop,
Lookin' good!
Do you get louder belt drive action or is it the same as before?
