I've used the Hawker ones from Draganfly recently. Very nice quality.
cheers

I have a set for sale which are attached to the yoke. They are not easy to remove.

hi got mine of the yoke using a 1/4" drive screwdriver socket with a extension bar and i tap the bit in to the screw head and they came out if they are well rusted in warm up the yoke (i use a hot air gun ) and then some wd40 etc and try again if you take your time they will come out without breaking and the covers i got was very good and they are the right color as well :D :D

I think that BSA covers have a slight flare on the lower edge

Looking at the BSA pics on the Dags site, they all seem to incorporate the upper covers/headlamp ears as well (which is how I remember them).

I think I've seen some HTs using the BSA covers (without the headlight) so it might be possible to arrange something, but it might also need the yoke(s) changing as well, so if it is a possibility it won't be a straight swap.

(Not an area of expertise for me so I stand to be corrected! :mrgreen: )
