Rosso Corsa Valve Covers

[orangeokie]

Anyone ever seen a Rosso Corsa with "silver" valve covers? Looks like the covers off a 2000 model V11 Sport.

The originals will have been red.

I agree - all Rosso Corsa valve covers were red.

[Guest MikeC]

Yep, should be red for a stocker although the silver looks better.

Yep, just to add one more voice to the chorus... the OEM covers on a Rosso/Nero-Corsa should be the "anodized look" red finish(they are actually painted).

 

However, this doesn't necessarily mean it is IMPOSSIBLE that a *-Corsa came with a silver set of covers from the factory Certainly, stranger things have happened

 

But, I suspect this owner swapped his red covers out for silvers for some reason.

Ha blokes.

I've seen a couple of painted covers on the Rosso's and arsked, Why you do that? Answer was thay fade and fade quick.I would rather get them re Anodized than paint the mothers,But thats just me.

Mark, they aren't Anodized, the material doesn't lend itself for that. The original red is paint.

That's my bike! The Rosso pictured with silver v-covers is mine. I thought the red covers looked real cheezy-so I replaced them with silver sport covers--way prettier. WT2
