Bugger - looks like these are no longer available from RGM.

RGM have confirmed they are no longer supplying the "spindle lock" one-piece covers.
Anyone know of other good quality options?

JS Engineering sells plain aluminum ones, no logo or markings and quite reasonable on the price. Order his gaskets with them as well, I didn't and wish I had.

See my previous post for link to the Eurojumbalya seller of no logo single piece cover plates. These work well for my bike.

I have now used these for about 7-8 years. Has been absolutely perfect. They haven't leaked a drop. in addition to that, I thought they were the prettiest I've seen. They had a Norton N engraved, but that is now almost completely gone.
They are made of aluminium
I found them somewhere on Ebay, have tried to find them again but haven't seen them since

Interesting. But would have thought the mounting screws could leak with that setup. I believe they protrude into the rocker box. Guess if they fit well there's less chance of oil seeping past threads/head.

Thread sealer is all you need on those IMHO, it’s all I use anyway.
