    Is the case damaged? If so that will need tig welded to keep water out. Hard to tell from your photograph.

    While the 750 midnight Maxim end-covers were special to that bike, they are also the same covers that were used on the 900’s….the difference in black/gold vs brushed aluminum is the only difference. You can swap with those then paint them. ALSO, the REGULAR 650/750 and 700 covers ALSO fit. They just don’t have quite the same look as the tw0-piece covers…….otherwise, THEY just bolt right on, too.
