    Looking for something that is smooth or doesn't say "Yamaha" on it. I know I could take the stocker off my XJ 650 to a machine shop to have it milled off but thought I would try going the a/m route first.

    Thanks all

    Last time I was searching, there were NO aftermarket brake res covers available for our bikes. There used to be a grand total of one (1) -- one of those ones with the eagle on them, and you could get it in chrome or black. But that was the only one I ever saw, and last I knew it's not available anymore.

    So if you can find one that fits, let us all know!

    Well crud, looks like a go around with the belt sander may be in order. Not that I'm ashamed to ride a Yamaha as my VMax was my favorite bike, but I want people to say "What kind of bike is that?" Haha.

    So did you find blanks for the covers on the engine?
