Guess what I got today. Thanks Dubs! 

Initial pics. Not yet properly installed. I'll get final pics in sunlight after I'm done and let you know how it works.

Beautiful piece of work , matches well with your seat cowl. Good work.

Hi - Looks great. Who built it? At what cost?

[krash7172]

It's one of the two I made. Read the thread from the beginning.

[krash7172]

Stayed up and got the install done tonight. Its great

Bottom of lid. I used a 3/16" foam gasket material.

How much would you charge to make one for me?

[krash7172]

I love the interest I am not wanting to produce parts. One of my reasons for starting this thread is to inspire someone who is willing to do so. What I made is the most simple lid I could come up with that uses the factory lock. Dubsters fiber work made it look professional and not like something I made in my spare time. Because of that, it will be a permanent part of my bike. It's still far from perfect. The foam gasket I used tears because I have to slide the lid onto the catch. Still working on that. A hinged design is better. I only had 2 goals: 1) A solid locking lid, 2) A professional minimalist design that matches the look I achieved with my other mods. If function and mass appeal were important, I would have done something different. I am happy to share any info or answer questions about what I did.

Maybe in that case could you "open source" the project and post up the dimensional drawings here?

[DynoMutt]

Is this something that could be 3D printed and still safely used?

Gimme an STL file and I'll let you know...

The parts were hand made. I have no STL, DWG, DXF, etc  files. I'm a mechanical engineer and I made a cool part but it was all done by hand. No prints or files. I placed paper on the bike and traced the outline. I cut metal with a band saw and sent to Dubster for fiber. I worried about the final profile until Dubs finished his fiber wrap. I don't think that a production tank lid would even resemble mine and would have a hinge.

Nice work, i'm happy that you are happy about the carbon finish

It looks perfect with the red of the sr!!!!!

Perhaps there's a shop nearby with one of these available to use:

Is the piece bigger than 8 x 8?


That little 3d printer/scanner seems very cool I might have to buy one, I just wish it could print something a little bigger
