I finally got around to getting this project rolling. The stock brackets are hard to find not cracked from wrecks. I am having these made from 6061 T6 aluminum. The one in the picture has two added drilled and tapped holes to mount accessories like EGT gauges, camera mounts, cell phones, etc. I will also have stock replacements available without the extra holes. I don't have a price yet but I'm just gauging feedback to see if anyone would be interested in these?

I was shopping for some new covers to replaced my beat up 75' RD350 gauges that were on the bike when I got it. I found some on Ebay and i didn't notice the difference in the photos. The ones on my 350 have squared off edges while the ones I bought have a rounded edge. Was this for an earlier or later model bike?

I'm trying to have a sticker made to replicate the one that was on my bikes steering head. Mine was in horrible shape so I couldn't get much information off of it. A friend has one as well and his was a little more legible and I was able to get some information.  Can anyone help me confirm and or help fill in the missing data for what I was able to get off his bike?

If anyone is interested I could have these made with your specific bike serial number. I have a local company that can do these and they look factory.
