I bought one from Shire Bikes, the seller above, last year and it was £46 which I thought was dear then.

The cover is held on my 3 small spring clips which grip the pegs as they are inserted, they are only mild steel and tend to rust to bits, that causes them to lose grip and the cover falls off. Buy new ones or you'll lose the new cover as well, cover them in grease before fitting to protect them as well.

The other alternative is to fit the generator over off a 550 which looks the same except the Honda logo is actually part of the cover and you can't lose it. The only downside is you can see the 3 screws holding the field coil in place. Finding one in decent nick is the hard part.

Ah, many thanks for that Oddjob, much appreciated. I'll go with the Shire Bikes one 👍👍

Oddjob:
If you need the clips as well it may be cheaper to buy from DS, work it out first before buying.

Clips are part number 11633-323-000, £3.82 each at DS.

The cover looks new in the pic, whoever fitted it probably didn't know about the clips rotting. Shame, you tried looking for it?

Oddjob:
BTW, if you take the carbs off replace the orings in the manifolds, they can go flat and stop sealing allowing the joint to suck air in. Same part as the tappet cover orings BTW 91302-001-020

Julie sells them. 

Nurse Julie:
Here you go, a lot cheaper than Honda.  https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/165957568364?hash=item26a3d7876c:g:0fsAAOSwvTpZ5j~M&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAA0KsHAoy2rSkZ8J3UhtQ%2B2cXkY0tU85bMpiigi3CsagLRUchewMb3z1NmJ0GtL5hMxsbH7Ni0nWcy5ziWS0nA%2Fo4Z2ci02vXXDgNBDlJKWWEvtTSp%2BONX2ImGc8pKw6fH7Mk3wJEd2DXiHhOLS%2BmNQQIOsfHYHRQwvnBIOrBcK4Z1dMgjeYDrgj5ZOp%2BatX7YCDX7oHbNVDggBS5l3qzvqM%2BzT3kUB5EKEuLq2SKltmWMYAtMj%2FtgNWaYILWZpj7nGYs4i9UssK7NWgP8r8fS5Eo%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR_i_k8DkYQ

Roxy John:
Thank you Oddjob & Julie - at the very real risk of looking like an idiot, when I took the carbs off, I didn't find any o-rings like that.....🤔🤔. I'm guessing that they sit inside the carb to inlet rubber boot jobbies and seal between face of carb stub and cylinder head?

Regarding the generator cover - it was a new one, fitted by previous owner.  :-[ Must have shaken loose when I was hurrying along a bit on Saturday. Coincidentally I had to re-trace part of the route in the car later in the day and had a cursory hunt as I drove along but no luck.
