A guy from this site makes side covers. Very strong and quick turn around time. He made some for me a few weeks ago:

I have generally been pleased with the products I buy from 4into1, but when I needed new covers for my 750F I bought from fb-stuff. Partially because he is an active member and I like to support member businesses, but also because his products have an excellent reputation for quality.

My 750F covers are much sturdier than the OEM covers.

Normally I would get the FB stuff ones, but I don't have the time or money to have them painted, and these are already black.

The 4into1 covers are thicker and a little stiffer than the Honda ones. The Yamiya ones are about the same thickness as Honda, but also stiffer.

IDK, if black unpainted ABS works I don't see why you couldn't rattle can Frankenstuff's white ones and be just as happy.

Excellent! They take paint very well. Appear somewhat thicker then stock likely stronger as well.

FB-stuff and black primer paint. They will outlast ABS, especially if ABS isn't painted.

I purchased them and they worked out great. If I remember correctly they have little dimples on them to show where to drill holes for the badges. You need to use a plastic primer on them before you paint them and be sure you clean them really well before any application. They are strong and look absolutely original when complete.

When I got them from FB Stuff, I asked him to get them ready for paint. They came ready to be painted.
