Slotted Derby Cover
One of the decorative mods I'm considering is the derby cover. I've narrowed it down to a few but was wondering if these two slotted covers would work. The later twin cam derby gasket is a solid disk, so the slots wouldn't seem to do anything anyway. Is there any reason why the slots would cause a problem?
In either case ti will be black.

I'm not sure if the slots are decorative or not. The first one is made by Accutronix and is called "vented". I assume it is actually vented.
The second one is from Drag Specialties and is just called slotted. I'm inclined to believe these slots are purely decorative.
The Accutronix part is billet aluminum while the Drag Speciaties part is steel. The DS part also matches a horn cover that I already bought. It might be too much to match the pieces anyway (although I'll eventually relocate the horn and coul, and ditch the cover completely.)
The damn derby cover is such a big item (visually) that I'm really trying to be careful with the choice. The wrong one will stick out like a sore thumb. (Kind of like the stock one.)

The Accutronix one is definitely open. I found a better descripton on the Drag Specialties page of all places.

I'm not really sold on the steel part.
The search continues. I'm in no rush. I think I'll plasti-dip the stock one until I find the perfect part.

I found the "one", ordered it and stopped worrying about it.

I spent most of my vacation on HDForums and looking at mod ideas online. It's hard to be without the bike.
I still have two more days and the DK Customs site is calling my name. Hmmm...MX style pegs or coil relocation kit?

MX pegs. i bought a set and love them!!! their basically mini floorboards.
EDIT: Heres the ones i bought. only downfall to them is that i couldnt ride with my steel toe boots on. but being that its only a 5 minute swap to regular pegs, i can live with it.
