Some pics of my newly completed "Diamond Plate Tread" Side Covers. They pop on and off like the stock plastic ones.

Very solid, Light and quite. I plan a little more Diamond plate stuff on my sissy bar and maybe my tank emblems. I don't want to go too crazy withit but i have some left over and it's not that cheap.

More Diamond Plate goodies. Made some Maltese Cross tank emblems. Kind of cheesie "West Coast Chopper" but I couldn't come up with a better shape emblem I could cut with my minimal experience and tool inventory.

I'm planning on making a diamond-plate fake oil tank (round style) to house the battery and electrics.

I was going to build a Battery / Electrics box for my custom swingarm I'm building as well. Please share pics of your progress.

I have no real shop to speak of. Usually a kitchen counter when it's cold out or my shed when it's decent. Just a jig saw, hack saw, drll and a 2 x 4 for squaring up the bends.
