Re:Ball Milled Primary Cover wanted 7 Months, 4 Weeks ago  
I have a new flame middle drive cover that I found on EBay.

I was going to sand the face part of it (To remove the flame) and take it to a machine shop and have them ball mill it.

Then have it chromed.

I have not got to it yet. (Life be happening)

I believe the flame ones are still available. I bought mine about a year ago, but who knows.

Just my 2 cents and ride safe.

Could have the flame milling fill welded, face mill it all smooth again and then ball mill the face

+1 on filling it. Decking it down to the bottom of the flames may not leave enough material for the ball mill depth.
