Turns out I only have a left cover. It's in pretty good shape, no cracks, but the PO drilled out one of the emblem mounting holes, and added another hole to mount an emblem from a different bike. PM me if you're interested..

Hey, thanks for checking!  Left is what I relly need, but if it's original, I am looking for one in pristine-ish shape.  Thanks though.

If you look closely at the photo, what appear to be defects are reflections of me taking the picture. Still, it's not pristine, but I am willing to be fair. ;)

I was searching long and hard for aftermarket side covers for my 76 550 F, thinking there was no way I would be able to get my hands on a new pair. Then the other day I was on my local honda site, looking for a turn signal switch, and saw they had some stock side covers listed. I figured they didn't really have them in stock, maybe it was an old listing or something, but I went ahead and gave it a shot. Lo and behold, talked to them today, they said they had them in stock and shipped them yesterday.  :o

Shane, just out of curiosity, how much did they cost?

Oh yeah, that was the best part... Get this, my bike is the factory orange. Last week, I got outbid on ebay for some scratched up but structurally sound blue ones, I figured I'd just repaint them. I wanted them bad and I bid 150 bucks and lost in a last second snipe.

The factory ones are brand new, with matching orange paint. Left one was 47, right one was 52... 99 total.
