Received my Thunderbike headlight cap today. Shipped from Germany to Canada in 2 days?! I am amazed. Nice quality piece. Especially impressed by the paint.

Ya. Not cheap, especially when you consider shipping from Germany and, in my case, the weak Canadian dollar! But I am really impressed with the fit and finish and it was the final piece of the puzzle to finish off the bike for me so I had to bite the bullet

That looks great TCZ!

Although not as pretty as the Thunderbike Cowl, the OEM V-Rod cowl will fit and it's pretty cheap from the dealer, comes in vivid black for about $140 usd. Part number 67700030DH

When I dug this cover out, it was because I was planning on converting to a typical chrome round headlight. You guys think I should continue?

Tough to say without seeing the light, but I say do what makes you happy!
Personally, I like the modern theme of the stock headlight, but I didn't like the side profile and being able to see the back of the light. That's why I added the TB cowl.

Performance Machine finally released the Contour pegs to fit the M8 Softails so I got some to match my grips.
