OK, here's a pic as promised!
I wiped some dirt off it so you could see how clear the window stayed after 12hrs of run time.
She still looks brand new, and you can easily see powervalve stuff in there!
Just a tiny bead of ultra gray was needed to seal it (the gasket tore when I took the old one off), and it doesn't leak or weep at all.
I guess the only recommendation I have for this cover is either to move the window half a radius to the right or make the window a little bigger.
Other than that, SWEET!

Bike is in the shop now, going to try out a custom RDZ OOF drag pipe as soon as I figure out how to mount it up.
Probably need to clean the bike while I'm at it LOL

ROBB you have any interest in doing a CF zilla hood in blue and black. Can you do items that big. What would the cost be. depending on cost I want one. also can you carbon fiber leters in--in a different color. Rather than suzuki skickers---can you do suzuki in yello CF.---this would look good and be unique,

I still say a CF reed / carb boot manifold would be awesome!

tex where is the pipe for that bike,

WestTexasKing · « **Reply #31 on:** August 01, 2013, 01:52:06 pm »

I was switching them around, going to try the OOF pipe I have just for kicks.
Trying to find the right bracket to support the rear of the pipe.

Thanks for putting a pic up Tex! I did read all the messages, i am working on a mold at the moment. Not too sure when it will be done as time to do this is rather thin @ times thats why i try to stick to the smaller items. With the end of summer in sight my work shop will be cooling off and will allow for more time and effort to go into making some kick ass parts!

13.robb · « **Reply #33 on:** September 02, 2013, 12:41:07 pm »

Still holding up tex? Im building a few of these in a non windowed form today, i will build some windowed ones this coming week. I plan on moving the window over some, probably radius it a bit, we'll see. Wish i had a milling machine as that would make life easier. But for now its all done by hand. I exact copied the location of the factory window, so blame the engineers @ suzuki on that one lol. Yes, the mold is starting to take some shape for the hoods as well.

I've never seen this thread till just now. How much for a powervalve cover with the window? I want one because it looks cool lol. I could also use another case saver. I think I should get a little deal on the case saver since I was the first one to "test" its abilities on the 500 haha.

13.robb · « **Reply #35 on:** September 02, 2013, 01:18:37 pm »

Lol Motoman, i had to think for a sec who you were, and then it all came to me. haha, i'll work something out for you.

13.robb · « **Reply #36 on:** September 02, 2013, 11:06:54 pm »

I worked a bit today on these. I have 2 non window style powervalve covers that are pretty much done minus final clear coat work, should have them painted in the next couple days. price will be $35.00 each on this style. The windowed style will be more ($50.00) as there is quite a bit more labor time involved to get it right. These prices are for members of sqrhq. Thanks. Robb

Motoman991 · « **Reply #37 on:** September 03, 2013, 07:15:47 am »

That looks good. Put me down for a window powervalve cover.

PCS · « **Reply #38 on:** September 03, 2013, 10:50:53 am »

Good looking parts

WestTexasKing · « **Reply #39 on:** September 03, 2013, 02:32:14 pm »

No change so far, Robb...still looks nice as ever.
Have about 30hrs on it.

13.robb · « **Reply #40 on:** September 03, 2013, 07:21:29 pm »

Awesome Tex. Wish i could log 30 hrs this coming year on my lt250. Buuuuuut, i have a baby boy on the way, its due 10-28, so probably not a whole bunch of riding time this upcoming season. But im sure it will be worth it.

WestTexasKing · « **Reply #41 on:** September 04, 2013, 08:26:19 am »

Having somewhere to ride in your backyard always helps

13.robb · « **Reply #42 on:** October 12, 2013, 05:23:35 pm »

ok guys. Finally have been able to make some progress on the windowed pv covers. I still have to do the clear coat work on these covers. I will have 5 available for sale and ready to ship in the next few days. (guessing wedsday-ish) $50.00 shipped in the u.s 50 states each. Thanks again. Robb

El Diablo · « **Reply #43 on:** October 12, 2013, 08:58:16 pm »

Those are some beautiful pieces!

13.robb · « **Reply #44 on:** October 15, 2013, 08:39:55 pm »

Dibs on a window PV cover.

13.robb · « **Reply #46 on:** October 16, 2013, 08:09:22 pm »

Just finished up sealing the back sides this evening. Tomorrow i will finish up the front sides. Once the clear coat is set up they will be ready. Motoman, sending a pm your way.

13.robb · « **Reply #47 on:** October 19, 2013, 08:15:00 pm »

Just finished up the final clear coating on the top sides. I think ill keep one for myself lol. Looks like a couple days to cure, then a quick buff to shine them up a bit and they will be ready.
