    Just picked up a 1981 Midnite Maxim. My question is will a YICS valve cover fit on my non YICS motor? I found one on eBay already glass beaded and cheaper than I can have it done. Any help would be great.

    That's what we're here for. Glad you didn't buy it and find out the hard way :D

    It will fit if you swap the whole top of the engine......
