making side panels for my Triumph Bonneville '73 T120R

fitting bell mouths to the carbs meant I had to remove original panels. So with a few bits of wood and a couple of hammers I knocked these up, I will do another vid showing the finishing and polishing of the side panels

Loved where you used the hammer face as a shaping die- what a clever little man you are! But for God's sake, somebody get this man a proper workbench and vice!

That hammer going like a woodpecker on LSD, I worked in an NCB Blacksmiths shop for 4 years and never saw a hammer go that fast. That accent sounds North Yorkshire or south Durham. I`m from the REAL North East - Northumberland. Anyway that`s a job to be proud of mate and not a trace of filler anywhere well done I`ve watched a good few of your vids and am now an avid subsciber, Keep em coming!!!

You have good hands! Very inspiring. I need to create something similiar for mine. I do not have the airbox housing though. By the way, how did you end up fastening them? Thanks for showing your work.
