what was the point of making this? if you have nothing to do with it put it on some vinyl and i can put it on my bike (just the symbol, i already have yamaha on the bottom of it) ---

it originaly started out w/ someone wondering about having “yamaha” engraved on an existing part, so i drew up the lettering to see what the possibilities were given the available space. while i was at it i whacked out the tuning forks too, just for shits what type of file is required for cutting vinyl ? EDIT: its also been suggested that i should have some SHO timing belt covers made, which would look vaguely like this: ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/hotrodkid/yamahaemblemtimingcover.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/hotrodkid/yamahaemblemtimingcover.jpg) ---

yea, so do i, now the hard part is making it into a cost effective 2 piece design. along w/ making the jigs to have said 2 piece design quickly and inexpensively machined the “other” billet timing cover on the market is one solid piece, 18 x 10 x 2.5 … not a cheap block of aluminium … $480+ shipping ![http://shoforum.com/images/IMG_0411resized.jpg](http://shoforum.com/images/IMG_0411resized.jpg) ---
