Best source for 1975 750 side covers?
« on: August 30, 2012, 08:31:43 PM »
I guess that reproductions would be best because any original covers would just be super brittle. Does anyone have a great on line source? Located in Canada.

+1 on Frankenfrankenstuff side covers! I have 3 sets. They are better than Honda's, won't self-destruct on the shelf. The mounting tabs are stronger, too, which broke off on most of my Honda ones.
See SOHC4shop@gmail.com for info about the gadgets I make for these bikes.

Blood is thicker than water, but motor oil is thicker yet...so, don't mess with my SOHC4, or I might have to hurt you.

and he has reasonable prices for his stuff. Actually cheaper than what i could have found originals on the 'bay and they are a whole lot better made.
Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.

Yes, can't go wrong with this guy.

Check out his ribbed covers too.

I've been looking into geting some from him as well.  At 85 dollars for both covers that is an amazing deal.  Carpy sells ONE for 99 dollars and don't EVEN look at yamaya's.
