I found a Honda Shadow reservoir cover I like the look of but I would rather not spend the money if I don't know if it will fit. So does this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LL4DRDQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_DbJszbR1WB1KJ

Fit my Honda rebel? Another quick question; does anybody know a good way to vinyl wrap the tank? I have a cheapo 3.4 Gal (You know the one) and it has no clear coat, so it's ugly as sin already. I wanna wrap it black and stick some old fashioned rebel decals on it.

Clearly the thing is cast pot metal, not machined from a solid aluminum billet as implied by the description. It is also a totally cosmetic cover which fits over your complete existing master cylinder disguising it as a chrome blob. These are the kind of accessories that I find to be in poor taste since they add no function and simply increase weight and complexity. You may totally disagree.

It's definitely not milled, the pic upside down looking inside it shows molding flash that looks like its a plastic part, perhaps billet aluminum was used for a gaseous deposit process to plate it. One review stood out to me reading over it, you use their screws to hold it and your reservoir cap down and they stripped easily and it didn't seal letting brake fluid leak out.

The Shadow master cylinder is roughly twice the size of the Rebel MC --- rectangular on the Shadow/more square on the Rebel --- so the covers will not swap back and forth.
