Wondering if anyone knows someone or a shop that do stuff like this? Trying to see how much to fabricate a belly pan for my bike. It is essentially a metal tray that can hold 3 quarts of liquid that mounts under the engine and is formed around the exhaust for ground clearance. There are companies that made this for racing for $200+, which I am not going to spend, or I can go the dirt cheap route of using an aluminum turkey pan. The picture shows the approximate shape and size of the pan: ![http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/9881/bellypan.jpg](http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/9881/bellypan.jpg) Thanks! :thumbup ---

Gotcha, for some reason when I red the post I thought you were trying to fab up a spoiler for a street bike. Never knew track bikes needed something to collect the oil (in case you perforate the casing/blow a seal I guess?), but it makes sense. ---

I can do that for you as well, have a shop on main street Cobleskill. Putnam Fabrication. 598-3009 can make that out of sheet steel or aluminum. ---
