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 :cool:

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 :wink:

:cool: but just one question why you don't buy an acerbis or ufo disc cover?

Really nice job with the restoration. :cool: you are right it will never be that clean again unless you do another restoration. :wink:

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. :D
