Perfect example of why you should talk up things you really want. Yesterday I received the Fined Aluminum Tappet Cover Plate, that Brandon Sheets' Master Machinist Father made. If you remember I started a topic about this originally. Brandons dad was making them when Brandon got traded his Enfield for a Triumph Thruxton. So he had this Plate & 1 other, which may be spoken for already.  It was a PERFECT FIT & everything I had hoped for. A BIG THANKS TO BRANDON & HIS DAD. See Photos--Maybe Enfield will start making them.
Best Wishes, Craig McClure

Nothing like a one-off custom farkle to make the bike your own.


Cheers,

NICE!

A good winter project would be to take that cover to a buffing wheel on a bench grinder.  Then it would REALLY pop!  Don't get me wrong, it looks beautiful as is.  Just a suggestion.  ;)
