OK building a trike with a 74 super (I think?)
While im looking for the right front end I am cleaning and painting powder coating parts on the engine.
The question is what tins do I have to keep for sure, While im a noob I understand that an air cooled motor needs air flow but arent some of the tins for sealing to the body?
Ive looked at tons of photos but just because some guys run no tins at all does not make it the correct way.

Lots of folks with buggies and Bajas only use the top cylinder tins. However, I like using ALL the tins. I personally feel that the air get directed better and provides more even cooling around the cylinders.

Thank you, I was leaning towards all but the rear lower tin, but that would look nice powder coated. HMMM

The lowers also help protect your pushrod tubes from damage.
