man you got them looking good, wish I could get my cast to shine like that, which reminds me I gotta go tack down some pattern pieces.

Those are very NICE!! Question: How do they mount? I see no bolt holes or means by which to affix them to any other component. Any chance of seeing one installed on one of them bikes?

They mount by drilling holes in the flange area, I have the location for the stock mounting holes but most people want to drill their own holes depending on what engine they run. This bike was just restored by a friend and is sporting one of my covers.

Some models are quite rare, around here you can find them from time to time, thats how I got into casting I needed a clutch cover and a buddy lent me one so I could make a copy, then I began adding more models. Its refreshing making a part available that has not been in 40 years, and I can actually make a few bucks from them I need to figure out more parts to make though you can only sell so many covers... at first I was getting 100 per cover, but now im going to sell them to a store for 75ea and they retail them and deal with shipping and all the bs....

This is my Meyers cover I just finished, basically like a Taco or Zebra cover but no script, it was a easy pattern to make just took a second taco cover ground it down a little bondo and new part number. This is a cast finish unit how they came in 68
