    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I know I saw the fiberglass one somebody made on cliffs site but Ive seen a few bikes with just flat metal pieces as side covers and was interested to see if anybody could get me a close up pic and some info on doing that as a temp fix on my bike
 
Flat metal Engine side covers or flat metal Bike side covers...I made mine from aluminum for the bike and diamond plate for the engine..

talking about side covers on the bike but I agree, that engine looks awesome
 
I would be interested in this as well. Would it be possible to make the side covers out of steel or aluminium and still have them wrap around on the front side to protect the electronics from weather? I have wondered about this for awhile but never asked.....

Believe it or not 18 guage Stainless Steel is very easy to dish/form (what ever terminally you perfer) and all you really need is an old stump and s good heavy steel edge one that is rounded a bit so it doesn't crease the metal. How do I know...look at my avatar. I built that helmet and it is 14 guage stainless. Also did an almost complete set of armor. I have also been contemplating it. I just have not looked around for a flat steel source yet. My $.02.
