Exactly a year ago in fact.

Hmmmm, I do like the look of the polished valve covers. I'll have to think about that one.

The 14 standard are stainless. Fear not, there is a solution! Jet-Hot! [Image: 182f1c353118f683e3e8874b32401abc.jpg]

Could you tell me exactly how you did this? You can PM me if you’d like. Thanks.

I *really* like it. Puts the motor more visual into my motor cycle.

That being said- it was a LOT of work to strip the black off and hand brush the finish- yet to buy a new silver valve cover and caps is $$$.

http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread....alve+cover

If you are patient- what I suggest is to load the Ebay app on your phone, and set up a search alert for 'CB1100 cover'. It will notify you when one is listed. I say cover instead of valve because you may get some overseas bloke that calls it a rocker cover instead of a valve cover.

That is a great way to save money. In fact I just bought the passenger peg mounts in silver an hour ago this way for less than 1/2 the cost of new.
