Hey Buck
Mmmmm. Don't you mean the kick start cover? Right side of the bike from your picture and not the shift cover? The shift cover is on the left side of the bike. Having a brain fart?
When you post a new subject, please include what bike it is so there isn't any confusion.
If this is on your 550(I had to do a detective search of your posts, I hate to assume....), there should be a flexible cable stay on one of the engine bolts under the case to hook and hold the points lead as it runs from the outlet of the points housing to the bottom edge of the cases and back under the right side crankcase/clutch cover and up as you have it in your picture. I don't have a 550 to take a picture of it.
