Anybody know if they make clear engine covers??

clyde the ape
Hello everyone,
   I just got my first bike a 1979 cb750 ltd.  I wanted to change out all the covers on the engine to clear see through ones.  But, I can't find any!! Does anyone know if anyone makes anything like this for these bikes??  
Thanks in advance

Welcome to the forum. I have never heard of clear engine covers. I doubt that they would work on a running engine. They would be brown from the engine oil.

I like the guy's ribbed side covers for the CB750, but they're out of stock right now, and $90 million seems a little steep for side covers! lol
