Let me take a quick detour here.
I’m not too fond of this mag cover’s shape. (I’ve removed the Yoshimura lettering.)
I’m swapping it out for my prized US Yoshimura cover. Since I’m doing this on my own, I’ll give it to you. Please use it.
I’ve polished it up nicely with grinding.
US YOSHIMURA ENGINE CASE COVER GSX1100/1000/750 PART#17112
This is a catalog from back then.
I thought plain black was a bit boring, so I added an accent, but it really stands out too much…
I lightly heat-treated it and painted it.
This looks much better. I’d like to do some serious engraving if I had the time, but since this is a service job, I’ll do that another time.
