Eeee...ooooh...
I think you're looking at anodizing or powdercoating. New parts are at best hard to find, and those pieces in particular seems unlikely, in good condition.

You should see what I do to myself. I buy bikes a breaker may not pay for and try to rehabilitate them.

The best methodology for putting Titanio canisters, grey Ballabio frame sideplates, and Rosso Mandello valve covers on your LeMans is to buy all those V11, rearrange the parts to your liking and keep them all.   

Seriously, let's ask the other inmates on the ward if that sounds crazy.

I love an optimist. The bikes been out of production for almost 20 years but you're in luck I have a valve cover tree in my yard and I'll pick you some and send them over, lol.

Fertilised by Merlin cocking his hind leg and  pissing on it, no doubt.

No, Merlin and gardens are mutually exclusive. I had a nice garden once and then we got a dog, sigh.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained my Dad always said. I have seen these for sale maybe twice since I got interested (hooked) on Guzzis, which isn't that long. I think I saw them on Ebay. I forgot if they were black, red or unfinished,  but just getting them is the hard part. Getting the color is the easy part. Persistence pays off.

without asking, it's 100% guaranteed to not get what you're looking for...
