Right valve cover damaged 😭
Hi all. I won't go into it but, bike went over and damaged right valve cover. Any links for valve cover purchase? BMW quoting £173 + vat. Cheers...

It appears to be only cosmetic so a set of Machine Art X-Head covers would hide the scratches and protect for further mishaps…
They don’t look too bad when they’re fitted.

Re: Right valve cover damaged 😭
That's what I've got fitted and frankly they look sufficiently OEM that you don't notice them. They're never going to be as protective as a set of full on engine bars, but if the off is at speed it's very likely the damage to the rest of the bike is going to be bad enough that the scaffolding tube you got protecting the cylinders isn't going to make a lot of difference in the overall scheme of things.
