    Motorcyle Covers - Latest Project

    So my cousin asked me to do something for his old Triumph motorcycle which he is renovating. He wanted something with an Africa theme. The pieces were a nightmare. Each had extreme curves on them and required a great deal of 'outside of the box' actions.

    Images for the main case were done using six seperate images. Each image was engraved and then careful rotation to do each in their final position.

    Fabulous Work!

    Really outstanding work there Frank. That'll make a handsome theme to his bike.

    Frank,

    They look brilliant and coming from a family of bikers I would love to see them on the bike when it's finished .

    Outstanding work, as always, Frank.

    Thanks for the info. I just had a disaster with Thermark on aluminum tags so I'll give Cermark a try.
