Head cover chrome side panels necessary? (Read 8 times)

rokrover Full Member 2005 No Login Offline torkenstein Posts: 147 SoCal	Head cover chrome side panels necessary? 11/29/05 at 08:02:27 I think the motor looks more mechanical without those chrome left-right side panels but was wondering if they serve a purpose like an air deflector for cooling? The older models didn't have them so this leads me to suspect they are just a styling feature. Any harm just leaving them off?

I am actually looking for these (Only because I am restoring an old '86) and I just got done finding a left side cover, now anyone have a right side cover they want to dispose of?
