Messed around this eve thinking on a flywheel cover.... What I am doing will add a little bit of legitimacy and the engine will look a little more period correct as they used covers very similar on the originals engines of course...

I had this old Briggs kick start motor cover and pinion gear cover here.. So I am adapted it to the Honda motor..I think it will look great..I will paint it the same color as the tank tomorrow and then on Monday I will have my buddy that made my tank decals, make a miniature decal for the flywheel cover.. Should look cool..Or to me anyway..Thanks

Sorry I forgot to answer a previous question..I am going to try a 60T rear..Hope it works out fine..That was a suggestion by another member here..

Here's something I did a few days ago. I had a spare 5hp flywheel cover and saw that is almost fit perfectly. This is also on a GC190.

Here is what I was doing today.. I got this windshield over at my Brothers as I mentioned.. I spent a few Hours wet sanding and polishing with the buffer and compound..It was pretty scratched up.. I made an aluminum plate for the bottom..I have some split collars to attach it to the handlebars.. But need to fabricate the mount system between those and the shield itself.. Not sure I am going to like it yet..But will have little invested in trying it.. And it is reversible of course..Here is a pic of it just sitting on there..It is not near as large on there as the pic shows..I think it is kinda like a optical illusion of the Camera..Kinda like holding a fish way in front of you for the pic..So the fish looks bigger..Trick camera angles,LOLThanks
I redid headlights on a Porsche boxter like that for a friend at one point. They wanted 800 bucks a piece for oem replacement lights. A quick sand woth increasing grit and 2K clear paint, and new LED bulbs they looked brand new.

It sometimes pays to do a little work than pay the price.

I had to do quite a bit of modifying to get the old vintage Briggs cover on though..That looks like a much better fit to begin with..
