Vfr Engraved Master Cylinder Covers, I want to see if there is any interest in these

* UPDATED* (lower price)Vfr Engraved Master Cylinder Covers, I want to see if there is any interest in these

*updated*

I am 21 and attending college to be a mechanical engineer, I have an internship at a machine shop over the summer, and my boss wanted me to try market a part, make it, and then sell it. My idea to him was to make the brake and clutch reservoir caps to replace the ones that have all the chinese written on them. I would make them the exact same size as the old ones, but it would have VFR written in the same font as the graphics in the middle. The pair would be available in raw aluminum so you could polish it yourself for **$20 or anodized black for ***$30. If there is enough interest, like say ten pairs it will definetely happen!! I dont have access to a 6th gen, so I am not sure if they would work on that gen. So if your interested we can just make a list on this post and I can keep track, the more people that get them, the cheaper they will be!

I will post pics of them before I would ask for a commitment to buy, but don't put your name on the list unless you are serious.

I pretty much got kicked off VFRD for posting this, and I made a mistake quoting the part, they will be cheaper than originally thought as shown above.

 

hey id definetly be interested...in the flat black powdercoated ones....let me know the details when u get it all figured out...i have a 6th gen but if im not mistaken they are all the same from 90-08 so it shouldnt be a problem

 

I would take a set.

I'd just have to decide on color. Very cool idea, I think your project would surely be a success.

 

I'd definitely be in for a set - probably black powdercoated. Unless you do a run of anodized purple... I've always had a thing for purple ano...

 

I have seen sets on Ebay like you discribe....

 

I think anodized would be a better option that any sort of paint, as anodizing is a more chemical, temperature and oxidation resistant finish with better aesthetic qualities.

My .02, not that it's worth much. :tongue:

 

ttt, I am very surpised this didn't take off, I thought it was a really good idea, although it is purely for looks.

 

these do sound pretty cool. I would say put me down for a pair, but I don't have a VFR yet. Maybe in a couple more hours :wink:

 

count me in if you can figure out 6th gen...

 

any idea on the time frame for these might be? im definetly interested

 

I just looked up part numbers on ServiceHonda.com and the part numbers for the covers were all the same!! Time frame, I will know if this is gonna be a go by the end of next week, and the first sets could go out as early as the end of july!

 

This is as good as or better than what i wanted to make so I would have to have many people that want black ano to make this worthwhile.

put me down for a pair of black ano. Just got my new obsession (99 vfr) today! I'm gonna keep it as de-blinged as possible. very little chrome =P

 

I'm interested in a set too!

 

I am interested in a set too! I am not sure if those aer painted or decals on the ebay ones. You are planning on engraving correct?
