        I've got some spares that I could sell in varying conditions.
        Drop me a PM and I'll try to get some pic's.

          Keep in mind the 650 caps are different than the larger GS caps.

            Will they be any adverse effects if I decide to just run without the end covers all together?

              It will just look like all the OTHERS that have lost a cap (or two, or more).

              If you DO decide to take the rest of them off, I would be interested in buying one from you.

                Well, I'm trying to go for a blacked out look, so I'd love to not run them, lol.

                I just wanted to make sure they didn't serve another purpose other than cosmetic.

                And for sure, I'll sell them if I decide to take them off.

                    This one wasn't even loose, and I have no idea when I lost it. Oh well...

                      My bike has lost all four- I'm sure this improves cooling and lowers center of gravity!

                            That, with my Dynatech stickers, should give me 10HP, at least. RIGHT?

                              10 hp at least, by cylinder, its a lot of extra ponies for a 650.
