| | Posted : 06 Feb 2011 - 21:16 Post title : Input for Project: Brake Resrvoir Cover: | | | Working on a Brake Reservoir with a little character.
First , below is a black and white mock up with the new cover (Photo of America one to give you an idea of final except for shape) This one however requires making a cover too. Question I have is interest. Clearly using Union Jack allows for cross over application which is preferred from a production standpoint. I have been entertaining as well a Thunderbird "Text" or the Thunderbird image...which may or may not open copyright issues.
Open for input.

Looks like it will be $37 with shipping included or a little less, includes the cover as well, anodized black. Still working out the details as which direction to go. With the uncertainty of popularity I can't get it done as cost effectively when doing a minimum production run.
Having trouble finding out if I can use the Thunderbird image or not or the Text.
Here is one for the Aussie Brothers, how about interest in the Australian Flag as an insert?

Easy is subjective only by the cost and the Minimum I can have made up makes it cost prohibitive.

Now there is a possibility...what say the crowd? This all comes down to a numbers game specifically cross over application that would have interest besides our bikes.
My original hope was to be able to use the mini decals I already have in many different flag options but they were a bit too long to fit between the screws, too small to fit over them.

I'd prefer a T-bird image or logo or even Triumph but I'm in for a union jack if that's how it plays out...

Brit flag in color, and you will be surprised how nice they look just like with the America/Speedy R3 ones, the color contrasts very nicely, better than you might think. Here is, as well the Thunderbird image...these are really nice.
Anodized finish. What you think? PS the UJ photo is fuzzy not the insert.
