I want to buy a cover for this, but seem to only find "derby covers" when I search and call around.

I looked up "points cover" when I replaced mine.

I believe it is referred to as the 'timing' cover. With the new, electronic ignitions, points are not needed any longer so the area is not used. I replaced all the covers on my bike with 'Live to Ride/Ride to Live' covers and that is what it was called at that time.

Timing cover. Thats where you fancy cams are sir.

Check out this vid I found last night.

You can pretty much follow the vid and DIY if you got the tools beforehand.
