The breather part isn't in the picture and isn't listed so he's doing no wrong…the two pics I put on are his pics of the one I'm buying like

Fair one then, just have to swollow the pill and take the fiver!  :thumbs:

for the breather bit new bung from vw or gsf, they're always split anyway then down scrappy looking for suitable PCV valve you can fit into it or a plastic pipe elbow or whatever.

if you get a metal cover you'll see the problem its supposed to screw down to the end 2 studs on head, on the g60 cover theres a ton o metal in the way. if you chop up the belt cover it may fit over the g60 cover, but as i say you'll also need the lower cover and inner metal bit plus theres a weird allen bolt thingy to hold the bottom of the metal cover

They do look good when polished up……….PITA to keep them like that though!
