    Nice indeed. She does need some sort of trim plate between the tank and the seat to fill in the gap from the stock sidepanels though. The peg hole and notch draws the eye in a not so flattering way.

    Agreed.....I've kind been looking for a piece of some sort of rubber trim to cut and put there, but haven't seen anything quite right. Good news is......When I'm riding it my leg covers it up. lol

    A 3-D printed peice would fit in there nicely. Is there a makerspace in your area?

    Don't believe so. Never heard of it.

    that would be a nightmare to 3D print

    Nah. Once the model is built in CAD it's pretty easy. Compound curves are not a problem with supports. It'd be even be smooth and strong right off of the build plate using non-planar slicing (once I figure out how to do that myself).

    A Makerspace is like the rental garages that used to be around in the 70's. Anyone who wants to build stuff, but doesn't have a home shop, can rent time on their machines. A lot of makerspaces have members who will do work for others. Most of them are in mid-size to large cities.

    you have a printer, we have to talk.
    if was modeled in CAD i'd put it on the cnc mill and do it in aluminum.
    but really i think a piece of 1X pine would be the fastest

    I'm just starting to play around and learn with mine. I have an Ender 3, and most of what I've been printing has been minis for a game, but I have done quite a bit of talking with by engineer brother about 3d prints. The company he works for uses them for some of the processes in their production of sintered parts, and the only significant difference between my printer and theirs is the size. They even use the same software.

    I'm currently printing a setup to make it easier to balance my wheels when I change tires. If the material holds up like it's supposed to I'll move on to printing more functional devices. If I wanted a part like that in metal (lacking a CNC mill) I'd print it in SLA and cast it in aluminum. That is if I hadn't needed to leave my casting stuff behind when I moved.

    Yea I may have to try that and see how it looks. I'm a good fabricator/welder but I'm no machinist.
