sandblaster:
I'd like to have it for the cover.
200L = about 305 USD.
Too rich for my blood.
I didn't want to say anything earlier but I am going to start making one this week as time allows.
If anyone else wants to be involved I'm game.
I have seen all the styles available and am undecided which style I want to make.
But, I can get started machining the cover off...
Then we'll see what happens.
I may model some different covers in CAD just for grins...

sounds exciting!! :-D
sandblaster:
I don't know... Boring and exciting.
I'm hoping to find a stock cover from another bike that may simplify the project.
A cool bling cover would be nice as well..
We'll see.
I know others have been down this road before but I can't seem to find the correct thread.
I actually combined all the pics onto one thread but it's beyond me where.
Yes Motorrad, I used the search button :-)
cmotodad:
I am in the middle of my one-off 2 piece right now. I had a bad stock cover, machined the face off, made a ring to fit the outside, welded it on and am in the process of milling the outer cover now. The problem I found with avaliable covers was the depth would was too deep and still have room for the ringump area. Let me know how it goes. I will try to post pics when it is complete. Maybe with enough K5 owners interested, we could pool in and try for a sandcast 2 piece from the one for sale? I have a friend in the casting industry, I will talk with him soon.
