Chrome Gauge Covers
I just installed them, and I like the way they spruce-up the front of the bike.

They're literally a two minute installation. The chrome covers just go over the existing gauges, after you remove the black screws on the backside of the gauges. The chrome covers come with new stainless (and slightly longer) screws, and a few small strips of 3M double-sided adhesive as an extra measure.

I'm not a guy for adding chrome doo-dads to motorcycles, but I'm glad I got these. I had ordered the chrome headlight backing, but after seeing pictures of it, decided I didn't want it after all.

They do look good. A little pricey aren't they?

If you come to a fork in the road, take it!

What you can't see in the photo is my Ford truck. Yes, same color. Big Grin

p.s.--my ST13's white. Does that count?

Thumper,

$51!! That sounds great. I though they were $127, but I can't remember why. Think I'll check on them today.

RE: Chrome Gauge Covers
I did order the gauge covers today. The $127 price is for the headlight cover.

I',m off to install the rack now. It came in today too!
