Very nice. The color combination works perfect. The band being a bit more blue than the parts around it is really nice.

Thank you. This is one of our blanks we casted.

I like the combination. If you are making your own centerband you can make them larger and have more options using the slim line kit and make them larger or different in style.

I am curious to hear from the ones who have done custom centernbands. I done this one by turning the scrap part of the blank cutting a price of tube and gluing it into and turning it down to the present then took the skew and marked my cut off point and rounded it out sanded and mm then took barrel trimmer and made sure ends where as square as could by.
