Count me in for an adapter when you get one my T4 needs one.
I finally got around to finishing my first attempt at one I started for my bike about 4 yrs ago I used some pretty rough old covers so hard to make look to good but proved for Motopunk? that the 88 and 89 250 covers work great
Nice job on your covers Toby. Did I read your post right? Are you going to put one on your tecate 4? How are you going to do that? I see the clutch release and rod being fairly complex. The KX's seem a lot less involved

But I would like a window :|
Then again I change my oil so often that I really never look at it :-o

The main reason i like a window is after having a cr500 supermoto nearly kill me due water pump seal fail /overfill the tranny and pour creamy oil over my back tyre
Since then i like to glance at a oil window before i ride
on the dirt not a problem

Dirk I have 1 T4 with a Kx 500 in it . I have looked at how to modify the T4s covers but they would take more machine work that I am capable of.
Roost the 88 covers wouldn't really need a adapter all you need to do is mill the cover down the same as the 250s then build up some tabs for the bolts they are basically the same shape and size as the 500s but the 250 covers are pretty scarce and you cant get cool aftermarket covers I like sandblasters plan I just did this one cause I had it laying around.

as for the window issues you could have whoever installs your adapter remove the old window port from the 500 cover and weld it on your 450 cover of choice
on another note make sure you find a good welder or send it to roost for a install my cover was the worst casting ive welded on I fought it the whole way it was full of crap

I'd looked for those old covers a couple years ago too and just bailed on it. haha
The cases need to sit on a hot plate and bake the oil out of them before welding/
