After unpacking the 2 boxes of parts I bought from the breakers the other day I have found some chrome starter motor covers. However they are not for the 500/550 which was what I thought they'd be. They are too small for the 750 and AFAIK the 400 doesn't use a cover.
They are clearly off at least 2 different models but I can't seem to recall offhand any other Hondas that used these type of covers.
Anyone recognise what they are off.
First one, I have 3 of these. Bolt holes are 125mm apart.

Second one, just one of these. Bolt holes are 115mm apart.

If I can find out what they are off I may have the chrome stripped and smooth all the pits out and have them rechromed. Depends what they are off and what they are worth though.
I did at least get one 500/550 one :D

Only other one i can think of is the 650/4 Ken

You'd think that would have the same starter motor as the 500/550 and that's got humps to clear the end brackets of the motor, these haven't.
I can't think of any other bikes off the top of my head that had chrome covers. Clearly though there are some.

Kawasaki Z650 a possibility?

Wonder why he'd throw them in a Honda box though?
You may be onto something there. A quick search of Ebay shows some Kwack covers that look very similar. I'll have to get the covers in my hands and compare them against the pics later, first one looks like Z750/650 and second one maybe Z550.
I was trawling through some of the crankcase bolts and there are some bolts not Honda in there as well, maybe he's thrown them in the wrong box.
