Hey guys, dumb question for you. Can anyone tell me what my bike is missing here? To me it looks like something is missing as this is a pretty open area on an otherwise chrome laden bike. I know I have a Pingel petcock so I'm missing the dial thingy but other than that, what am I missing that should've come stock? Thanks *Edit. Never can figure out how to post images here so here's a link to the pic on my google drive. https://drive.google.com/file/d/13XMDfJDfS0TBWuITpeqG7iBTqnEx5SMS/view?usp=sharing |

 The fuel selector knob is missing, as you already know. The alternator cover is missing. (Thankfully they didn’t lose the alternator cover mount) Valve cover end cap
The cam end covers appear stock to me. The chrome plate the petcock fits into.
The chrome plate (chrome engine hanger) is aftermarket. Your engine is pristine !  |

With an alternator that clean you do not need to cover it.

Alternator cover. Available here cheap: https://www.megazip.net/zapchasti-dlya-motocyklov/hondaIt appears that your bike might have a manual Pingle shut off to avoid hydrolock a issue that comes when factory shutoff fails. All the way forward off, all the way back on, and in the middle, reserve. Of course this is with you in the saddle. |

NO, it is $47.00 plus shipping from Japan. Last one I ordered was about $7 or $8 shipping, and two weeks transit time. Jim |

I lined mine with reflective firewall insulation as a possible heat protection alternative.
