nope, don't have a dremel. I used a small drill bit and made lots of holes for the curved section and a fine toothed saw for the straights. Then I used a grinder to make it all smooth.

and yeah clear valve covers would be pretty sweet, but I bet you couldn't see much with all the oil splattering everywhere.

i am going to check out ym friends RB26 cover this weekend to see if it fits... looks to be the same top cover.
