RIGHT SIDE CWM20620R $38(US)

Looks like they use screws to secure them in place of lugs on OEM items.

You're welcome. Hope it does the job ok.

No side covers that I could see but oldbikebarn would be a good resource for price comparisons on bits n bobs

There's a forum there too you could place any quaries.

Btw I've got the same quality Taiwanese muffler on my 550F. Your bike looks primo.

Sidecovers always fell off early CB750's - I rode mine without rather than lose them along the road.

still a work in progress, it's no longer yellow, have plate mounted so that it acts as some sort of guard , also probably stick to riding my wee GB if its raining cats and dogs ;) will post some pics when she's all done (i think she'll never be finished though)

and thanks again Bonez and all for suggestions
