Have a machinist buddy who can make them but because of the programming time, would need to do a minimum of 20 to get the price down to around $100 PLUS materials per cover.

I was just to Gainesville Raceway for the Prostar Finals and there was a guy down there that had a bunch of finned covers. I think he was from Duram or Durham (something like that) Racing. Also check on oldkawman.com. I think I remember seeing some on his site for sale. Good luck.

Later, Doug

haha dont I feel dumb....(Im a 650 guy too) srry....If all else fails, get a competent welder to build up the cover with strips of aluminum weld, then file/sand it to how you want it...
