Show us your valve covers - pics plz

[Kev m]

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

[IceBlue]

I like the blue accents on the bolt heads.  How did you do it?

Thanks Joe!

Bought some blue 6mm M6x30 alu Allen bolts from Stein-Dinse  ;D

They are also available in red and other colors.

That's an easy method.  Thanks.

I love the natural look :o :D ;D ;-T :BEER:

(+1)  :) ;) :D ;D  Gotta love that old-school Guzzi "patina!!" ;D :D ;) :)

Your basic SP, not polished, red letters with Eric's guards...

[booger]

Just curious.  Painted, chromed, custom, ... whatever.  8)

I feel this way about other jugs all the time but get slapped every time I ask unless Im in one of those bars with all the blinking lights and no windows. 

-nasty bird ;D ;D ;D

P.S. Sorry all you tight caboosed non-humerouse types if you cant handle the truth and admit to the reality of the male gestalt.

Man, I've been going nuts trying to relocate a pic that I had saved a few years ago (then lost in a hard drive crash) of Guzzi valve covers with glass view ports installed.  You probably wouldn't see much with oil flying around and all, but I thought it was a pretty neat idea!

Anybody here got it?

Here's that pic you were referencing...not one of my bikes, though.

Cool - a window in both the crank house and the valve cover :D ;-T

Not only that but that transmission is not your usual 5 speed either.

And a crankhouse mated to a BMW gearbox!


Back on topic; Here's one of mine, the C-III-FD

Soooo cool!  But what do you call this from earlier in  this string? Doesn't quite say "I'll kill you" like your monster block, but it has the same number of valves ;)

Ciao  :D

Thanks! If I remember right, I bought them from MG Cycle.

Just painted the lettering. Mask a square around the edge of the lettering, then spray black hi-temp paint inside the masked off area. Wait a minute or so, remove the tape and wipe the paint off the top of the cover with a soft cloth. The paint stays in the letters. Works great. The cover itself is hand polished once in a while.

Silver bike, black trim... thought it might be snazzy to put just a little blush on her.

That's painful to look at.

Oh, the horror!  Looks just like my buddy's Bassa after his barbecue grill got away from him.  Took out his Shovelhead, entire garage and 40,000 rounds of ammo, too. (the fire department kept their distance) Also melted the back end off his fishing boat and his girlfriend's minivan.   He now has a nice Calvin, new garage and a Road King.  New girlfriend. too.  Doesn't grill much anymore.
