Right now, no one makes "chrome" cups....not even Triumph. One vendor makes polished aluminum cups, but they are VERY, VERY, VERY expensive.

Seriously, make your own guage cups...they are much easier to make than they look.

The hardest part is finding the right size metal containers. Depending on how thick the metal is, you might be able to make them with a drill and some tin snips.

There have been many threads on this....but some seem to have been lost. Early on, some people made them from stainless steel canisters they found at the $1.00 store. Somone else also made them from two shiny soup cans.

I don't know about other "new" motocycles.....but these Bonnies seem to bring out a fabricator in all of us....
