    I like the new format.
    You did a great job on the engine.
    And I really like those gauge faces. how did you make them. If you have a template you made in photoshop or something could you send it to me?

    I'd rather not give the template out, I was hoping to sell the face covers once i got them (closer to) perfect.

    as for the oil cooler, i had been looking for one for 2 years and always seemed to miss the 1 or 2 OEM ones a year that end up on ebay. I found this one on ebay for somewhere around $50 i think. It's not OEM but it works.

    I used the old format for reference pictures during my rebuild, and found it quite helpful, thanks. The new format .. also nice, I would pick the one that takes less time to program ... then more time for spring riding!

    Link is at bottom right of page,

    SimpleViewer is a free, customizable Flash image viewing application.


    Looks good, i like the scrolling through pics but it takes a while to load all the pics up @1.5mb/s.

    The gauge faces rock. If you make a set for the Seca 750 that will fit in the stock gauge head, I'll buy 'em. I love the black and blue motif.

    I like the instrument faces but you can drop a 120mph, 135mph or 150mph speedo in there with almost no problems at all and make a sexy face for IT. As a matter of fact, I HAVE a 135mph unit that works fine but has a screwed up face. PM me and I'll send it to you for $10+shipping if you want.

    I have been working with bluepotpie on the actual printing of the faces when he completes his template.
    I work for a print shop in town that uses a wide format solution by Agfa, the Anapurna M4F. It can print on anything up to 1/4" plywood, stone and die-bond material. This means, one template can be printed for gauge faces and duplicated as many times as needed and printed on a substrate up to 60 inches wide with unlimited length. The machine uses UV ink, which cures in seconds and lasts up to and over 5 years in direct sun exposure.
    These can also be UV coated in another process.
    Sorry I haven't been in touch sooner Mr. Pie, but we finally got the process ironed out to perfection at work. The machine has been in our hands for about 5 months and it took us that long to get the workflow and process perfected.
