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.

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.

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.
