Wanted - Left Hand Engine Cover for 1971 XS1B

Looking for a stator side engine cover for my XS1B project. Prefer something that has not been puked all over by the carbs and battery. Willing to settle for something less than perfect just to get it back on the road until the right one comes along. Please refer to this thread for help identifying a 1970 or 71 cover. Cash or trade. Thanks in advance.

I suppose that you could temporarily retrofit a later cover, one that retains the 'vestigial' bump over the lower rear mount screw. It'll need to be carefully drilled in alignment with the case screw.

Could make a short/pointed stud that screws into the case. Then put the cover in place and 'tap' that 'bump' to leave a centerpunch impression. Then drill for 6mm screw.

That lower rear screw is very important, to carry some of the 400lb clutch pushrod force...

I may have one I'll check

Still looking.

I have one but is real rough crome is pealing
