I hate art!!!

['00 WO-YA!]

So I'm trying to make my light Hole cover....ugh what a ******* disaster! This kinda thing comes so easily to some people, I'm envious of them. I do alot of stuff, I'm a perfectionist and I'm pretty good at most stuff but this is a talent that has completely eluded me. Frustration has set in, I hate not being able to do things for myself!!

Lets see some pics and sketch ideas. Maybe we can help.

 

['00 WO-YA!]

Well sparky, I don't have a sketch, I just used a sheet of note book paper, overlayed it and traced out the pattern. I tried to transfer the template to a jug but I'm just not good at this ****.

That looks good, 2kwarr has the best on here I think

 

[Gen1Pat]

Looks damn good to me.

 

['00 WO-YA!]

The damn thing just keeps sliding around, it's do hard to get a good look at it. Wth should I try to attach it with that won't be permanent and screw the hood up? Maybe I should make another one that's a lull bigger and let it overlap.

Chewing gum, 3M double sided tape, tape rolled back to itself(making double sided), scotch tape... take your pick.

Sticky Velcro is the best!

OkOk guys, I get it, don't overlook the obvious, lol! Total brain fart!

It's defiantly a fairly hard contour to follow.
But you are defiantly close.
For crisp lines I would score the aluminum and then fold back into the score.
But now I have a cool metal brake.
Thanks guys!

That gray 3M double sided tape is some bad ass stuff. I used it to put the emblems on my Silverado 13 years ago and they are still on. I have also used it to hold down some aluminum plates on the table of the CNC mill to engrave them. Make sure if you use it the part is where you want it.

 

['00 WO-YA!]

Thanks guys, just an fyi, this is not aluminum. I'm 'trying to use plastic for this project.

Has anyone tried to put the cover inside the hood instead of on top? May look cleaner. And easier to fit

 

['00 WO-YA!]

It's still going to have that strange dent if you cover from the bottom. Were going for a smoothe flat appearance kinda like a 250R if I have to say it. Oh well, the 250R is a damn Icon, truthfully I wish my bike were more like one.

Put the plate underneath and bondo and paint the top. Should be smooth after that.

 

[WarriorNewbie]

Put the plate underneath and run led headlights in the flat spot that used to b behind the stock headlights. Hmmmm. Idea?

 

[alex456123]

Or clear plastic cover and lights within the hood? 0.0

 

[lbjamm]

He's going for the dirt bike theme. No lights.

 

['00 WO-YA!]

Exactly^ no lighting coils in the stator on a YZ. It's gotta follow the theme of the bike.
