On the other side of the exhaust valve, I just have a plain red anodized cover, but I also have a red anodized cover with a glass bubble on it so you can see the action of the exhaust valve. I got it in Japan and still have it. Works good until it gets splashed with oil and you cant see anymore, but it drew a lot of questions.. with people asking "what the heck is that on the cylinder"?
What I should have done is try to build a copy of that one-off works bike.. that would be really cool.
What do you like about the shock? Unlike the stock forks, I never had much complaint with shock. I probably should look around for a works shock.

Here's my 00 that I just finished a few months ago...
Are those RG3 triple clamps? Are they A-kit forks?.. I see the black fork lugs.
More pics please!
Pit Row
A-kit suspension, rg3 clamps... went through every other part of it...
22nd overall in the Coup De Grace...
Here's the part that will make you cry.... check out what that mud did... I guess my personal rule about never pussing out due to bad weather kinda bit me in the ass this time..... total bill from that race: graphics, chain, sprockets, front & rear brake pads, and new lower fork tubes..... ouch
There were few parts that Honda changed as replacement parts that weren't up to the quality of the original items, for example, the replacement carb boot clamps were too flimsy and the tabs bent even before I got tension on the clamps. I chucked these new parts and used the original parts. The fenders and radiator guards are still available and plentiful. Side panels and radiator shrouds available but in short supply. Fuel tanks available but getting scarcer. Air box is no longer available and impossible to find. The fork guards and front disc cover are available from Honda, but no longer in the original white color.. it is now a kind of translucent white which is different than original. Some of the rear brake line guides/ rear brake covers are available, but a few are no longer available from Honda, but I could find them on ebay. It was a good time to do the restoration as the right parts are starting to disappear.
Bike should be finished in about a week or so, but there are a few things that I have had to redo. I mistakenly used aluminum cleaner on the HRC cast magnesium ignition cover and it turned it almost black. I found out later that you should use scrub less bathroom cleaner that has bleach or some other oxidizer in it to clean magnesium. I used the bathroom cleaner after the screw up and it lightened it back up quite a bit.
No offense though, great work so far, i bought a -06 250R 2 months ago, as soon as i get my -17 crf450 im gonna tear her down and get every piece as good as new
It was a bit pricey getting that TJ kit to sweden but it was so worth it
