I'm posting this because previously I thought they only had caps for fuel injection throttle bodies. Seems they've added tops for carbs. A bit spendy but I like them. http://www.shop.lcfabrications.com/product.sc?productId=44&categoryId=4

Do I see fins there???  (...OH BOY!!!) 
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

I got lucky last month and picked up a pair of LC s (not faux) carb tops on fleabay for $59, buy it now, couldn't hit the buttons fast enough. I was bored and just cruising through generic Triumph category (several thousands of items listed), obviously, I dig fins too.

Looks like I got the old style, I'll just tell myself the slight recess is like the dimple on a golf ball, less air drag.

Painted mine black, ordinary prep is in order, I used an airbrush, thinned the paint a little to help coat the recesses, three light coats.Scuffed the fin edges for contrast, looks good to me and that's what counts.
