Who gets real close to your belt covers!? They look good in the pics and that's closer than I'd get if they were on the bike...

Looks good man! One question, why do you have a fuel overflow line going in front of the clutch?

yah know..........no particular reason

i move that and the breather around every time i lift the tank up high enough to displace them.

Thanx for being the test subject, wanted to do the same to my belt covers for a while now.
Looks real good [thumbsup]

i know i'm digging up an old thread.. but better than starting a new one,

just wondering if you need to remove the tank to get to the top 'screw' of the belt cover. I will be painting my covers v soon.
