Topic: Where to find re placment side covers

[swiffer]

Is there a company out there that makes new replacement side covers for these bikes?

[BLUE71TURBO]

Yes there is. You can use the " SEARCH " above in the blue bar.  Type in what ever yer looking for and all the discusions on the subject will appear !

Thanks ,I did but there was only one company that was talked about.I was hoping someone that restores for a living might have a line on more options.I hate to pay more for side panels than i payed for the 1978 550 four i am restoring.

check with maijer I think thta how it is spelled, too late at night my brain is slowing down. Also chech ebay, I am sure you can find them on there. The last time I bought side covers was about 5 years ago through Dennis Kirk and they were Maijer.
cheers

lpm or dave silver and if they cost more than the bike you must have stolen it!!

You really have to get your mind in the right place to restore one of these old bikes. Parts are not cheap. I paid $1700 for my bike new in 1970. I've put a good $3000 into restoring it and it still doesn't look like it did new. It bothered me at first - chucking money at a rusty old hulk - but it was worth it. I'd rather ride the 750 than my Goldwing - much more fun - even without surround-sound and a foot-warmer.

not sure if you have a K or F but I got a set for my '76 F from David Silver and they were better than the original Honda ones.  (that is not saying alot I realize)

I got mine from crc2onlinecatalog.com they are pretty good seem to be tougher than the O.G. fiberglass I tend to crush with my knees, they arn't what you want if your doning a restoration to factory spec, but they work good "Maier" is the name.

Not new, but FleaBay is a good source for side covers in all ranges of prices and conditions.

Thanks guys i am all set now.I did some work on the right one and got a left off the web.

I know the OP found the parts he was looking for, but I figured I'd add that fleabay seller "ontariocyclesalvage" has lots of old side covers, tanks and seats for Japanese bikes.
