Is this a crazy idea - CB750
« on: March 25, 2012, 07:06:39 AM »
I would love to have a clear polycarbonate valve cover so I could watch the top end run. Crazy idea? I don't think so. The folks doing the clear points covers might be able to get it done.

Probably doable without the tach drive.

Might be easier to cut "windows" in the cover.

How about poly-carbonate tappet covers, each with a colored LED that lights up when the valve opens?  ;D

doable if you can replicate the breather, easiest but most expensive way would be injection molding.

With all the oil flying around would you be able to see that much ?

Quick way to know if your top end is being lubricated.
