In regards to valve covers, you can bead blast them, polish them, paint
them, or even chrome them as the PO of my Ambo did. You will find most of us
appreciate little personal touches and details along with an enthusiasm for
riding to be paramount. Lots of different mufflers are used primarily
determined by what's available cheaply ;-). Paint is also an open territory.
Just have fun and do what makes you happy, Carbon fiber may be a no-no but
I'm not sure ;-).

Question:
I know (as a result of much research) that '72 Eldos did not have
polished valvecovers. I like the 'look' of the polished Ambo covers -
with the Guzzisti look down on me if I polish my covers?
I'm askin' on account of the Beemer crowd disowned me when I put JC
Whitney muffs on my R75/5 and then (gasp!) drilled them out so that they
sounded like a proper bike. C'mon - it's not a trailer queen, its a
rider!
Don't want to offend anyone on the first post - that's for Post #3.
Until then,
Chuck.
