Well, I finally got around to finishing my mod on my belt covers.
I used:
1 dremel.
2 Coping Saw with fine toothed blade.
3 Files, ranging from flat bastard to round bastard. ;D
4 Drill.
5 Beer. [thumbsup]
I roughed out with a pencil of what i wanted, just sort of free handed it, but for the straight bits, used a rule. I did the top cover first ages ago, before my accident and wanted to get the bottom cover done asap.
So, here goes:
I had already done the first few cuts before I realised that this may inspire some people, so I whipped the camera out.

Note how straight my cutting is [roll], that's what the Dremel and files are for. ;)

And no, I'm not painting them because of rocks and other crap would just take the paint off, plus, getting that top cover on would scratch the F*CK off the paint before even getting it into position...
And, on the bike...

Just a few hours work and a bit of patience. you don't want to start ripping in with a bastard on thin plastic, you'll break the cover. ;)

and what a funny collection of shit you have on the workbench [thumbsup]
oh yeah, and well done, they look great
There's a few AMCN's lurking under there somewhere, paint brushes, tools, foil!?!? (I think I use that to wrap my paint brushes in so I don't have to keep washing them after a days painting)
After work, I'm going home to start cleaning the place up, I've got a home brew to bottle. ;)
I just accumulate so much sh*t in such a small space of time it's unbelievable. [roll]
I was running with no covers for a while and liked that look as well, but after cutting up those covers and putting them back on, I like this better.
I just noticed the first aid book is still there, to the left. That's there from when I broke my toe. Was trying to fix myself up. [laugh] [laugh]

At least you can work in your workshop.... Come round and take a peek in my garage some day - just enough room for the bikes [laugh] [laugh]
Fine job Super. [clap] I've got CF covers but I must say that I'm quite tempted to have a go myself.
Hmmm....
Hey Soop,
Lookin' good!
Do you get louder belt drive action or is it the same as before?
