posted this somewhere else, so will try it here... our little sportster has the engine compartment/storage panel/cover missing (along with the darn stern pole-light...figures). so... knowing they are both available, the cover for over 3 bills (YIKES), if you can get it... i came up with the ideas of: making a template from a sheet of carboard along with the 'lip' that would have been part of the oem piece, then take this template, and using either a sheet of marine plywood or thick lexan/plexi, cut one out and for the 'lip' i was thinking of some stainless hinges, make another template for the lip, cut out, mount with hings and voila.... hundreds saved.. is that feasable or doable?? has anyone done something similar? any ideas where to get the stern light? any after market brand? thanks!!
