Smooth Valve Caps

I've been talking with Jimmy Roberts (copperheadz here at HC.com) lately about some different things to help with some of the little details of our builds. One of these was a set of different valve adjustment caps for the cam covers on the 750s. I've seen a bunch of different kinds from back in the 70s and 80s and a few different styles that are being offered today. In fact Jimmy offers a bunch of different options for these himself. I wanted something smooth that more or less blended well with the cam cover. Something that seemed to be a part of the cover itself. I had the ideas and I knew what I wanted, but, I'm not a machinist. I've seen Jimmys work before and knew that he was the man to see. After a few emails back and forth, Jimmy did his thing and of course, when I got them, they were right on the money. Just as I had described. These 8 covers don't have an edge or protrusion on the outside of them. They don't appear to have a way to tighten them ....But they do, obviously.

On the inside of each one, Jimmy has machined a slot in order to tighten them from the back side of the cover It'll be a little more work when you adjust the valves, as you'll have to remove the entire valve cover to get the caps off. But, I think thats a small price to pay to get this unique look. I sell these for $100 a set or you can order them directly from Jimmy too at the same price.. either way, a truly unique part for your 750. The pictures I have were taken when they were mounted to a dull used cover. I'm having them plated and will show them mounted to a shiney chromed cover soon. You can email Jimmy at miner230@yahoo.com Or..  you can pm him at  http://copperheadz.u.yuku.com/ Also available: Jimmy will make a neat little T-handle that fits the slot exactly for a little extra if you're interested..
