    Chrome valve cover end caps

    Anyone have a source for these? I seem to have lost one on my last ride, I have a 1982 gs650gl. Must have vibrated right off. The only ones I can find on eBay are with the entire valve cover, which I have no use for. Thanks!

      Thankyou! I finally found a few on eBay, but they’re like $30-40 each. At least that is a cheaper option

          Yep, amazing how many doofs are on fleaBay flogging used parts for more than new.

            One of my cover/cap is loose on one side, how does it tighten? I cannot see anything that would secure it? Thanks in advance

                If it's like the 650, I think there is a screw underneath it.

                  There is a screw underneath it, and it’s a massive pain to get to with the valve cover still on the bike

                    After spending about six weeks going through my 450 and practically stripping it down to the frame, the biggest P.I.T.A. was putting those caps back on after forgetting to do it when putting the valve cover back on.

                      Any advice on how to access this without removing the engine!? I can see the missing screw but can't find out how to get to it!
