Primary Vent Plugs

So hobot has been busting my balls for a long time about the missing inspection caps on my primary. Said they look like missing teeth, which quite frankly I've sure he's seen his fair share in his parts. :mrgreen:

So this week when we got back from Barber I popped them in the lathe and hogged out the centers. First time every using a metal lathe and I managed not to loose any digits or mangle the parts.

I don't even think I'll put some mesh in, maybe paint the insides black.

I also picked up the clip on bars so the fairing will go on soon. :mrgreen:

I think yellow smiley faces would finish it off better, but its YOUR bike.

Those pics are the same, just slightly different angles.

You can see it without the caps at all here.
