A dull polish on the side cam covers usually, but not a mirror finish like that one. The front and back covers should be painted.
Current bikes:
TriBsa CCM 350 Twin
Honda CB350F in Candy Bacchus Olive
Honda CB750F2 in Candy Apple Red
Yamaha MT07 (2026) in Black
Triumph T100C
Suzuki GS1000HC
Honda CB450K0 Black Bomber
Honda CB750K5 in Planet Blue Metallic

That's one nice bike. As it's a later bike, as in not a bomber, I think the covers may also have been a dull polish but not totally sure.

Thanks.

Yes, HONDA might have changed that on later models.

I´d say, front has been dull polished and clear coated, rear one been painted silver
