A little high-temp silver-aluminum paint and a bit of work with a tiny brush and steady hand...

Now you got me thinking a little time with some white engine paint and a brush would make my black covers go so much better with my newly painted white bike... hmmmmm

Use a toothpick. Round one. Chew on it. Rinse end with water. Dry and use as a brush.

That's probably the best I've seen so far.

Is that an extreme example of the bubbling engine paint from 2002? ;D

They're all in denial. Once you reach the gold standard. It's hard to compete. So they all shoot for a lower standard. ;D

If you're asking about your fin guards, I don't like them, they're too big.

Understated...

I thought anodised fasteners were made for GSXR's, they should be banned from Guzzi's.

Can be purchased here: http://www.sportcyclepacific.com/featured.html

Much thicker than stock so it quiets the tappet sound and has a much thicker flange.

I give up, Chuck! I turned my laptop in every direction, I got dizzy, and smoke started coming out of my ears! ;D Rick.

Well, Rick.. that's an oil leak on Rosie that I've been chasing for 2 freaking years. ;D You are looking at the front left. It's a true pin hole. A pin just will go through it. It only leaks when she's really hot..

Good find Chuck, I suspect that's the last place you thought it would be coming from.
Anyone seen any 8V rocker covers polished ?

Interesting, Chuck. I had a hard to find porosity on the right head of my cal II. it was at the base of the second fin , on the head near the plug area. I sealed with JB weld from the inside, it was the wall of one of the oil return channels. Problem solved. I always kept the top surface of the second fin wet with oil. you can imagine how many valve cover gaskets I replaced, until I found that! ;D
