1993 M900- It begins.....

Question- my valve covers etc are a dark anthracite grey, yet the 'books' say they should be black. Is this a typical researcher's error, or does any other 93 bikes have the dark grey covers? Anyone found a good paint match for them? If not, I'll just do them black.

I'm also going to need new inner rubber and outer plastic belt covers if anyone has any as mine have cracked.

Mine (1993) are dark grey too - when I come back from Halfords I might tell you what matches!
