Alternative points cover.
Oddjob:
There's a member on the USA forum who makes those, Frankenstein or something like, he also does a chrome version IIRC. Bit flimsy for me, if the bike was ever dropped it would shatter and the points etc would most likely be damaged. I prefer to fit the CB650 cover if I'm not fitting standard, made of proper alloy and gives more protection than the standard chrome one. Can be hard to find one though.

I just spotted it on a web page, it’s available as a finished item painted or the primed version you see in the pic. It is advertised for the 550 and 750. It’s probably as strong as the chrome tin lids Ken? I liked the idea of it. Not a fan of the finned versions Ted, enough fins going on as it is with the engine uppers. Each to their own though. Just browsing ideas for the next project.😜

Was it this site Johnny?

If so I correct my reply, the pic you posted looks like it made of plastic or nylon not alloy, hence why I thought it wouldn't protect in the event of a spill or a drop.

I could not find a finned one at sensible money , I found a NOS 650 alloy cover instead.

Yes that’s it Ken! Don’t know how strong they would be!
