Do you have a link Hairy ? I find it hard to get top quality ones for polishing and sometimes end up buying a rocker cover, just to get the tappet covers.

2 covers arrived today trigger and very happy with them,........used one to replaced the broken one and the other to replace a hammered off one by previous owner,........[might just buy another one or two?]......but first got to have a look and find out why the bike went onto cylinders 2 and 3 and nothing from 1 and 4,??. will have to leave that till I come back from a weeks holiday
