Cam Covers

[Gas Man]

Wanted to know from you guys if there are any cool options for a nice chrome billet cam covers other than the standard S&S or standard knock off?

I don't want a 2 piece flange one, just a nice billet chrome piece.

y dont you just get a one piece bdm cover for one of the new bikes and have it chromed???

also, theres always the option for a custom little cover for the stock one. i know a guy thats made those things before. lol

I already have one of those non chromed. Forgot to mention I need it to have the open nose for the ignition. Otherwise, I'd jsut get my current one chromed.

you could do something like engraving on a standard one Gas. just a thought. something that I've thought of before. don't know what i would do but just a thought.

That would be ok, but its mostly covered by the exhaust. I would just prefer to not have to drop over 4 bills on a S&S chrome one if all I'm paying for is the S&S name. But on the flip side, I don't want some junk either.

 

[narow37]

true, it does get covered a lot.

you could always just machine your stock cover so that its open, not to hard.

Yeah... you think?

i think i could be done, id have to see what the cover looked like off of the bike, but i do think it could be done

Well I'm going to go with a JIMS Performence Chromed Billet cover. A bit pricey but well worth it for billet & chrome, plus I love the way it covers the bolt holes and wiring.

Looks good .... you doing a custom Points Cover ?

 

[Gas Man]

Not sure... maybe I should. Maybe put Phoenix something on there.....

 

[Gas Man]

But it looks like it wouldn't be thru Jims. They require a 25 piece order.

Maybe some engraving?

[cavracer21]

Gas - Alltec Engraving (863) 984-2145 is excellent. Don't have bike here, so can't post pics now. He engraved my axle covers and lazer cut (cut through) a tribal flame on my belt guard.

The covers were $125 for the pair and it and turn around time was 3 days.

Side Bar - Yeah, I'm pissed about BD changing the point covers on 06 because you can't change them to a stock HD cover / the diameter is different. Then a couple of days ago I noticed the 08's are one piece and no point cover at all. Just limits what you can do in terms of custom.
