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

I must say, I LOVE this thread. I don't have anything on any of my bikes that would qualify them worthy of this peticular thread but man...the ingenuity of the builds shown are incredible. You guys are a inspiration. 8) 8) 8) 8)

Small embedded pic is a friends skate bike i made useable for him, skateboard wheels in front, standard rear wheel. fun to ride after i find out how to steer it :roll:
