tappet covers

Hi, anyone know anywhere in the uk can source these bad boys? for a 500/550

[Bryanj]

Try ebay usa they were far more common over there in the chopper world, 750 ones are the same

Cheers Bryan. Found loads in America. About 45£ a set but it’s £50 postage 🙁

Youneed to cultivate an american freind to post things to you but even then postage from us is all airmail now

How many do you need?
When I bought Ratty it had some of these fitted. The PO asked me to give them back to him if I wasn't going to use them. I threw them into a box marked as 'Tat' along with the copious amount of acorn nuts and the shopping trolley arrangement that was attached to the front mudguard. I don't know why he want's them back as he no longer has a bike? They aren't perfect as the bike was in a shed for 20+ years. It is a 400/4 but I guess these are generic.

Are these taller covers for a cool look or is there some other benefit - any potential clearance issues on the inner ones?

Thought you’d have put them in the Christmas tree Dave

I did use the shopping trolley arrangement on the front mudguard to do the weekly shop Roo.

Purely bling Ted.
As ever and no matter how you put them on they’ll always be too tight, graunch and the tappers will always be a pig to do.

Think they originated for things like Triumph to try and hold some of the "tappety" noise inside and not for Honda engines 

They are of a period in Cafè racer look though.

Was just a "chopper" thing where everything had to be finned

Have got 4 used ones where the fins are vertical instead of horizontal that can go cheap if you want them. Send a pm if interested

Isn't that the top end oil supply when it goes "cheap" as it lunches it's cam bearings
