from my build off bike 8" 2 barrel air cleaner covers as number plates
of course that was before i had seen paint can lids for the same purpose (we need to see some of those listed here)
Side Note: some of the larger 4 barrel air cleaner covers could be used for 20" bikes as moon style wheel covers
