   How about some MTC Aluminum rods ( which are in mint condition )  and a little $$ to go along with it ?   ;D ;D ;D

 I have a friend who has a set of these cast aluminum side covers on his turbocharged CB750.  I do believe they were made by Magnuson ( Supercharger manufacturer ).  I have tried for years to get them but he wont part with them.   :'(

Mine was cast aluminum.
I could probably do them for$250-$300 a set?? Straight castings w/ light cleanup. Customer has to polish....

I have one, the oil tank side, and have been looking fr the other side for years. Cycle X sells them (I thought, can't find them now on their site) and Singh makes hammered aluminum one out of India via Las Vegas or something.
