Guest ckamin Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Hey, here is a question for everyone: For x-mas the spousal unit will probably get me those bitchin' valve covers from Sport Cyle Pacific (the black ones with "GUZZI" in raised, polished letters). I like the style of the stock head gaurds but would like to polish them. Does anyone know what they are made of (aluminum, stainless steel, cast iron)? I wanna ask the polish guy what he can do with them, but I am curious what they are made of. Thanks! Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murray Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 The head garusd are aluminiun depending on which ones you have they will be cast or billet. For the modest price of a new set of billet ones might be esier and sumpler. A not with polished aluminium thats note coated its an absolute firetrucker to keep clean especailly if you ride rain hail shine. I have a super motard with polished aluminium rims this is primarly a track bike so only comes out every now and then. They are a complete pain in the rear never ever again will I have raw polished aluminiun on one of my bike. Think long and hard about it before going ahead. I prefere to ride than fiddle with stupid stuff why I will never own a V-rod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just keep them wiped clean of bugs, water, oil, etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrt Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 The stock guards are not big enough to protect the valve covers or heads in case of a tipover. I would suggest that after investing in those nice valve covers (I'm jealous), you get a set of proper guards or use a crash bar like I have.

jrt Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 I was trying to be nice. I said 'use a crash bar like I have' instead of 'use training wheels like BFG has to by court order'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
