I love the subtle look of the chrome cover and feel it was worth the cost and time.

Yea, i was looking at my bike the other day and it just hit me how a chrome cover would balance out the lines real well from the chrome pipes below to the chrome headers at the middle and the cover up top. Just sorta surrounding the black engine with chrome. The black cover at times looks unfinished. And at $99 at hermys i think it will make a huge difference in the overall look to the good. At this point i'm in the process of trying to weed out all the tiny details that when combined hold the bike back from looking very high end. hence my other post about where to find chrome bolts and nuts. One thing about the blacked out speedy tho is thats it's much harder to know what will look good in chrome than a non black engined bike. On those you can chrome pretty much anything with nice results. with the black engine there are things that if chromed look bad. I've seen pics that have proven this to me. The tough part is trying to visulaize it before you buy, and some things i just can't visualize.

I also noticed hermys has a chrome version of the rear fender mount that the licence plate and turn signals mount to. Never seen that anywhere else, so thats on the agenda too along with a chrome brake res cover. I should be at about $2500-3000k in accessories by the time i do those things including helmets. I'da laughed at you had to told me i would spend that much when i bough the bike !
