Before and after. Starter cover.
there is a corresponding "extension" of the wooden piece that glues onto the timing chest's flat spot. In other words, it has a piece of wood on the timing chest where the flat spot is.
And of course, no, I don't think it benefits from the screen/ventilation. And to give credit, I got the idea from Jon Lars' work on his Cafe. Thanks.

Nice.
How are you going to rig the surfboard rack on this "woody" you're building?
I wouldn't over do it or you may have to start looking for a " Country Squire" name plate.

SWEET NESS & LIGHT !
Chuey, you do know that you are headed down a long path
straight back to the "roots" of motorcycle inception !
I have not seen so much organic material on an MC since this one:

Schweeeyt!
Chuey, it has to benefit cooling. How much is unknown, but it doesn't matter does it.
I just had a thought about a new motor sport. Motorcycle jousting!

Oh yeah - very cool part, Chuey! I can see where it would aid in "cooling" considerably!

Surely you jest Rob?
I think a Boss Hoss (500 hp version) would be the tool of choice.
