Topic: “Nameless” Points Covers

[MauiK3]

Shipping here is crazy. Only a few vendors realize the US post office charges the same for a flat rate box as anywhere else in the US. Often, shippers from EU and other European locations have a better handle on shipping out here to Hawaii.
Yamiya shipping is top notch.

Here’s what it looks like. Fits very well.

It looks good, it matches the shiny part of the clutch cover.

+1. I agree, nice fit too.

John, did new screws come with the points plate?

A clear cover wouldn't look anything like stock but might be interesting at night!

Indeed, the transparent points cover adds 20 horsepower, reduces vibration, improves fuel mileage and adds $$$ to the value of the bike

My K6 had a transparent cover in the 80's.
It looked tough for a lower price.
Easy to see when condenser went bad causing flashes.

Same or very similar as Yamiya has. I did not add a Honda sticker.

Your bike looks very smart. A credit to you 👍.

This discussion prompted me to search again.
I'm going to give this one a go: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/355564817527
Less than £60 delivered. Hopefully it will fit OK and draw less attention than the beat up cover I have at the moment.

Does the spending ever stop?!

Not mention all the women it attracts.

Thanks! It turned out well. My “back roads” K3 has a very nice HONDA points cover. I think I’ll sub in the other one and put it away for later!

Den….. No screws included, but they do sell them else where on the site. I think this cover will fit your 550K too?

Yep. It solves the age-old problem of having to read "HONDA" sideways, too, when a 750 cover got used on the Mid Four.

Buy parts when available at all and buy extra when the price is right.
If shipping is high, buy more for future use just for sure. Gaskets as one example.

This forum is the place you find good ideas that you must have or do.
I have done good ideas for $$$$ several times

I have 2 SOHC covers. My K2 got it yesterday.



Saved the stock Honda cover.

[PeWe]

Got mine today from Canada!
I had planned to order since I found one at 4into1 that also have the clutch and brake levers I want.
Not available here. 4into1 and now Vintagecb750 very cheap.

So numbers to cover shipping better. Levers can fail if bike will be dropped.
Plus other stuff.

Do you have 3 bikes, or do you drop your bike a lot?

2 now, a 3rd in its slow making

Per…. I will try a set of those levers, next time I order. They look useful.

[MauiK3]

I hate dropping the bike, very discouraging. I have the little bars on my cases to help.

That type is more comfortable.
Here when installed those I bought last year, polished version. Aftermarket stock held under clutch lever.

OK IC, same "stroke" just a different profile. I used the complete 4:1 master on my K2 just to get things working, guessing the "honda" lever may not fit it.

Look like the MC's my bikes have. From David Silver.
I ordered a better looking cap to them at the same time.

The infamous 4:1 says it is a Kawasaki style master but fits others. I just wanted the front brakes to work ;-). And now they do. I guess a nicer looking lid could be good, what did you find ?? I'd also like to come up with a riser for the left hand mirror to put it at the same height as the right mirror is when mounted to this master. The height of the mounting looks similar to OEM. My bike had mis matched mirrors and I recently replaced them with "genuine Honda" but R and L are physically same height to the RH ends up higher than the LH.
