where is everyone getting the side covers for the engines?

I have seen a few now that under the head.. round ones... they are chrome or X shaped... looks like the vmax style..

can someone tell me or point me in the direction for some engine bling please.

 

Are you looking at the engine side covers for the "X" model Maxim??
They look different than regular old XJ covers.

 

hope this works.. like this for a start.. the one next to the yamaha cover... that has a snowflake effect.. http://www.xjbikes.com/coppermine/displ ... ize=1.html

You would get them, one at a time, from the USA E-Bay if the "X" was not sold in England/Europe.
You would pay thru the nose.

 

everything I buy for this.. (ok most things) I have to buy from the usa... so do you know of any sites where I can buy online.. also I travel back and forth to see my family on a regular basis... so I could always add it in my luggage.


anwyay there you go.. please please send me links.

 

Check with Chacal (Len) hes got everything its XJ4EVER

The "X" style spoked-pattern cover would be something you would need to track down on eBay.

The guy with the snowflake (or whatever, hard to tell from the pic) etched into his alternator cover most likely had it done by a machinist or engraver, or has "appliqued" a fancy bit onto his cover.

I was actually considering getting someplace to cut a tuning fork emblem into one of my spare alternator covers, and then I'd fill it with black or red, depending on the bike it ends up on.

 

sadly that wasnt etched .. I can tell you that much because they are very common on the vmax bikes...

I have seen them on several bikes now along with chrome plates instead etc... and even see through windows... so there must be some company out there making them... just gotta hunt it down and waaaa la.

 

ok heres what I am talking about

so far from the first link you can see you can easily get the snowflake design for the vmax.. and the second link lots of chrome for the engine to dress it up

here is some random ones with seethrough bits and also the snowflakes etc.... cmon someones gotta have a idea ...

 

anyone have any ideas??? I am sure there must be someone out there who knows.
