    yes. I wish I could sell them, but alas that would get me fired hehe.
    but it sure is going to save me some cash on my new obsession.

    Very nice work, since you can't sell them feel free to make me a "test" of 650 seca emblems or a "YAMAHA" set for my gas tank :)

    OK, so you can't sell them, yet. Why not put a suggestion in the suggestion box at work that shows a whole market out there waiting for this type of product? Unless there is some kind of copyright issues involved.
    They sure do look nice though.

    I work for UCLA. We don't sell to the public we maintain the signage on campus. What we call "G-jobs" are fine as everyone does them. But mass producing is a huge NoNo. Not worth losing my Union pension job hehe.

    The demand does make me think that an engraving machine at home would be a great venture...

    hmmm lol

    Why not? You could probably pick up a used Trotec for about $6 Grand, then you could LASER engrave to your heart's content.

    Nice work. A buddy of mine used to use the laser EDM at his shop to make nice hardwood "marque" plaques from southeast Asian pallets...

    for once I get my tanked painted up.

    I love the tuning fork logo!
    I know it isn't what the OEM ones where like, but I could not stand the gold logos that where on it. Since it is a 32 year old bike I feel I can get away with artistic license here hehe.

    If you got a big enough order some one in china will probably make them for for 50 cents.
