Anyone know where I can get finned pantah valve covers?

They are pretty rare (not helpful, I know)

You might try pinging Duck Stew. At some point in the past he "knew a guy who knew a guy"

You might also try ducatiz.

He's into the older stuff.

Sometimes new magnesium ones show up on eBay from the Netherlands. Sub $200.

contact Brook Henry Howley, I'm pretty sure he has some.
I've got 2 -I think- that I'd part with.

You'll find theres's 2 types, the lower profile ones from the round case and the larger profile from the square case. the larger one will hit ya battery box on the rear head, so you''ll have to mod one or the other...

Thanks Monsta, what kind do you have?

If you have a 2v up to about 05-07 you can put ones from a Pantah directly on it.

Other sources include the Alazzurras.

The 650 was the last engine to have them, they went to smooth with the first 750 (Paso) and every engine after that.

I think all the monsters should come from the factory with bar end mirrors, sorry I jacked the thread, I was looking at the SR there.

and another thing...   ;D

You'll have to make a bracket to hold ya oil cooler...

Haha no worries man. I guess I'll need 3 high profiles and one low, but at a pinch I could just get 2 since you can't even see the vert cylinder ones. I'll see how I go and might get back to you. I figured as much about the cooler bracket, I'll be able to fab something up for that I think.

Ooh thanks Geoff. Are these the same ones as on the pantah? They seem a little different. Brook Henry has some too, but I'll keep my eye on those eBay ones.

yeah, pretty sure they are...


Ducatiz?


Personally, I like the low profile ones. But they're rarer and so more expensive...

They are all the same from bevel to pantah -- the rocker arms are much higher than on the later models.

Monsta any chance you could post a pic of the two types? I'm trying to visualize which ones will look better.
