Having failed to find any UK / european suppliers of plugs to blank off the tacho drive hole in the rocker cover, I ordered a couple from america, both meant to be for 750's.
First one, $16 inc P&P from http://www.workingclasschoppers.com . This one is a bit on the loose side and doesnt have a groove for an o-ring. I've stuck on ebay at http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=181299549879

Next one from member 754 on the US site , this is a much snugger fit and has an o-ring groove. $20 delivered. I think he still has more available.

You could just remove the drive and fit a small flat plate over the hole using the single
bolt to hold it in place. Mine was like that when I bought it and works fine.
