Chrome is nice and shiny and all, but according to the experience of several who have written in here, it does something to the metal that is not good for keeping oil inside the engine; it would be better to coat it with thermal black paint than chrome. The fins painted black on Hondas back when was for more than appearance. It was Honda who, after having researched the matter, wrote a paper about the dissipation of heat being more effective with black paint on the surface. Stanley

I should be going to pick up the cover Saturday, The guy I bought the bike from has a bike barn and plans to sell parts on ebay but just hasn't gotten around to it yet Better price than I've seen on Ebay, It's a 3 hour round trip though... But I get my pick of 3... It wont be chromed, like the current one, but at least I'll be on 2 wheels again soon, I'll make polishing it into a winter project. to have it chromed would cost too much at this time. Rob.

Seal it up with JB Weld High temp and make a tempory (if you don't have one) gasket with ""Form a gasket'' from Perma Tex, Silicon..... That JB weld was on a engine oil filter cover on one of my Bikes and was very hard to remove. ~~Dave~~ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
