If I were you I would forget about the front disc cover. I think bikes look better w/out them.

Try Devol, not plastic, Aluminum. They look sharp and function real nice.

I think you don't ride in trails,dry rivers.... with a lot of stones
or in a forest you'll don't need the disc cover
but if you like the look

The thing is, I
DO ride trails, rocky river beds & forests here in Colorado. I don't go to tracks often at all, so a front disc cover does come in handy from time to time
but just one question why you don't buy an acerbis or ufo disc cover?

Really nice job with the restoration.
you are right it will never be that clean again unless you do another restoration.
The best way to stop things rubbing on the plastics is to remove all non-essential plastics from the bike and store in cotton wool until you are ready to sell your bike.
