I'LL AGREE CHROME IS GOOD.BUT WITH CHROME ON THE INSIDE OF YOUR AIRCLEANER YOU HAVE TO REALLY WATCH THAT THE CHROME DOESN'T PEEL OR FLAKE AND GET IN YOUR MOTOR. IT'S NOT VERY GOOD ON PISTON RINGS.

Hey iamtrker2!

Does your EFI cover vibrate on the bottom of the tank?  I had to put a rubber stick-on under there.

Mebbie I did something wrong when I installed it... :-[

You actually CAN see part of it ;)

wether you can see it or not, once you know that a chrome one is available, it will eat at you for eternity, or untill you buy it...whichever comes first.

When in doubt, chrome it out [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]And by the way I took off my football and just the air cleaner is exposed i.e. like Grover's pumpkin and chrome is the ticket. My .02  Later,Q

Thanks for the reply.  I guess I have "issues".  I could hear it yesterday even with the pad (mebbie fell out).  When I get home tonight its coming off for "adjustment".  Nearly stealth chrome anyway...

How do you like the chrome neck cover, i have been on the fence about this one, want something that looks nice , hard to tell from pics, what i will look like in person. I would appreciate your opinion on this, and how you think it looks.
Thank You

Well iamtrker2 I think the Kuryakyn frame covers look great and add a nice chunk of chrome in an area that needed it. I give it a big thumbs up. Later,Q

You got me wondering about your problem and took a good look at mine today and there is plenty of room between tank and cover, i dont see how you could have installed it wrong pretty much one way only.
