OK Folks.
The covers will be made out of polished stainless steel. :)They will cover the top of the radiator and the central mounting / bracket, rolling over the front edge a little. No covering of the sides though.
At this stage I've made a cardboard template and sent it off to the workshop. They will send back and then I'll tweak to fit.
The workshop belongs to an established manufacturer.
If this goes well I'm planning a few other bits, including a cover for the front of the lower fork brace (mines a bit tatty now) with 'F6C' or 'Valkyrie' on it - also stainless polished. If anyone can think of any other parts needed in a similar vein, let me know and I'll see what I can do.
I'm interested in making parts for my own bike, plus a few more to sell at cost. Then the templates can go to the manufacturer and they can have them for their parts portfolio for free
- that way everyone gets to benefit and there are more bits out there for Valks. When a bike's this old I guess its the way to go - if you can't find it - do it yourself.
Bear with me - it will take a few weeks - I'll post pics as we go.
Also Dolores - the Fat Lady - is due a photo shoot next week, after some new suspension and other parts - so I'll post that too.
Cheers
HH
