Yeah. So My Monster won the Bike of the Year trophy at the 2017 Weekender. (Now you know)
A trophy is fine and well but only visible in Gazza Towers. So I decided to make the bike itself the trophy.
I have to thank Luddite for posting this thread and discovering the laser engravers, he also helped me get in touch with PMP Laser Technologies when a local firm let me down very badly. I cant speak highly enough about the guys at PMP. I did this via postage and email and the result is superlative. They haven't even billed me yet, although I know it is only £30 + postage. (I would have paid £50 happily)
It's laser engraved 0.3mm deep, the laser leaves the ally very dark grey which is exactly what I wanted. They left a line round the centre of the "O" at my request so I could paint fill it (Rosso Red). I was going to fill the middle lettering with Gold, but I don't think I'll bother.. Less is more. (And the blingy buttons in the screw heads spoil the effect too!)
Thank you to Vince and PMP.
