[ Fish Scale Tank Dash Cover for FXR ]

Until now the material of Tank Dash Cover and Floorboard Inserts have been only brass plate. This time I added another version of those products. They are made of stainless steel.
The pattern of the surface is same as previous brass products.

Hairlined surface of stainless steel gives calm impression to those who see these products.

The making process is same as that of brass products. After etching process is completed black paint is ran into the concave portion. Then clear coating process is done.

The outline of the fish scale pattern seems more clear than that of brass fish scale Tank Dash Cover.

Designing Brass Footboard Inserts begins

Now I started designing footboard inserts (floorboard inserts) used until 1990 Harley-Davidsons.

They are equivalent to Harley-Davidson genuine parts No.50614-66.

I’m planning on using 1.0mm thickness brass plate as a material which is same material of brass fish scale tank dash cover for FXR.

Although the part of their design follows FXR fish scale tank dash cover, I contrive ways not to make someone feel of strangeness.
