I’m not a bar hopper lunch kinda guy. I usually check the weather and pick out a ride from there.

May have to check those places out just for foodie runs though!

Etchings by Pig. Hand etched probably 10 years ago. I have run in on two bikes. It’s on a chrome cover even though it looks black in the picture. Very subtle when the bike is on the stand.

Derby/primary cover.
Carbon over AL acts as a 'heat sink' and reduces temps by as much as 20%.

Removed after a while as there was just TOO much carbon going on. (says a lot for me ;-)

Thanks for all the input. The eyes have it:
Going to have them do a final version based on my rough mock-up

As far as the derby, it's an "off-the-shelf" part from Trask Performance. I bought it in raw and had it coated with my other parts when I got those done. The derby itself has not leaked at all and looks fantastic. The best part is, and yes, it's a good thing, is the o-ring is a standard piece that can be purchased in bulk and easy to replace. No more HD only o-ring.
I was there that night - it was funny... I'm still disappointed we weren't able to build next door to the townhouse, the view up there is nice.
