As long as yours look as good as the pic you posted and have the cutout for the Honda wing you can count me in!

Nice cover. Where did you get the design from or did you design it yourself?

It will have the cut out.
The only difference is that I might not do the circle cut out (it takes a lot of time), it might just run to the bottom of the bolt. I will post pics though of the final production product.

To answer some common questions I am getting--
I am using true carbon fiber twill weave with a gloss finish. Most of the ones you see on ebay (which cost more!) are just stickers that look like carbon fiber.
Some people have had some special requests, like not cutting out the Honda logo square as there's might be scratched. I will try to fill any special requests people have.

Still working out some production kinks...but I assure you the final product is going to be a high-quality piece that is backed by me.

Should have pics up by Friday, and should be taking orders by Saturday.

Stay tuned!

What are you using to cut it if its already got got resin on it? Wouldnt cutting the circle out just be as easy drilling through it? Id imagine cutting a square for the honda logo would be hard way harder. Unless its just the cloth and youre putting the resin on after cutting it to fit the triple then couldnt you cut the square out, put the resin on, then drill out the hole after its dry? Or am i missing something and just being retarded about how youre making these?

If it were as easy as you said everyone would be doing it...

The extra material needed to be able to make the circle would likely make me lose money on every cover. At this point I believe I can make 89 cents per cover... Hence I am doing this to contribute to the forum, not to turn a profit.
