What exactly are "Engine Hanger Covers?"

[Paxton]

I saw engine hanger covers for sale but I can't picture where they go on "She Dragon."   

Any photos of them on the Valk? How much do they cost new?

Cover areas above where kury tranny covers go and reproductions can be bought new from different people....

They cover the key switch on right side ( see pic's ) <---Between the carb's and side covers. On the left they cover the fuel petcock on/off.

Who makes the side covers shown  on the blue and white custom painted Valk?

[Dave Ritsema]

The side covers in question were made by Corbin. I have no idea if they are still available new, may be a ebay thing.

Ok, now I know where they go. 
Hard to see them on the posted photos. All the dents, dust and fingerprints on those Valks are surely distracting. 

Thank you all!

i made mine out of plexiglass, then painted 'em black.  made it much easier to add stuff too, such as the seat release key switch and a 12v power plug.  also, i'm  pretty cheap.....

That's pretty clever! 

Thank you!

They look like the ones from Hondaline which have been discontinued.  Sometimes a used set comes up on ebay and they go for around twice the original price.  Other companies make them out of stainless steel but I have yet to find any on the market that are actually chromed.

I have the Wayne's World "Flame Style" engine hangers. IMHO, I think they look the best. He also has some nice looking radiator front covers.

I called Wayne yesterday to buy some parts from him. How long does it take him to call back?  I cant email him because I dont have outlook.  If you have his email could I get it from you??

Dave, I see what you mean about the email links. They all want to go through Outlook, which is no longer supported by the later versions of Windows. But it appears his email address is: waynesworld32@aol.com
Just use that in your regular email program.

Also, there is an online order form you could fill out...but his site does recommend contacting him first. In all honesty, I'd give him a couple business days to respond. I don't have any affiliation with his website, but I've ordered two sets of hangers and two front radiator covers for my first bike(totaled out) and my current one. I've never had a problem dealing with Wayne.  Ratdog, my buddy up in Seattle who has been a long time VRCCer can vouch for Wayne also.

If you don't hear from him in a couple days, give him another call. You won't be disappointed with his product. I've included a pic of my right side hanger. It's not the greatest pic cuz it was taken in my garage and the hanger is reflecting something in the background. I can take better pics tomorrow, outside in the daylight if you want to see how it looks on the bike.

I like the hanger covers on your fat baby; but I love to get my hands on those carb stacks!

Other than the finger prints on her valve cover, the tiny puncture on her otherwise beautiful seat and the dent (Ouch!)
on the side of the tank (Bummer!).., she's still looks great!  CONGRATULATIONS!

Paxton, I can't guarantee it, but I think you still can get your hands on velocity stacks. I got mine only about a yr ago, through Honda Direct Line. It did take a while and I almost gave up thinking they were still in production, but I finally got notice they were being shipped. (I'm thinking it took a couple months). Their website still shows them to be available.
