Default need opinions on customization

alright guys, i've posted on here a couple times before and this is the first time i'm gonna put some pictures up so hope it goes well. I'm gonna get a new primary cover and i'm trying to decide between the normal chrome or this slotted one that i'm posting a picture of. i'm going for a sporty look for my bike and will be getting the vance and hines big radius 2 into 1 before long (fits in with the sporty look) which is why I kinda like the idea of the slotted primary cover but i don't know if it will look tacky. appreciate any comments/suggestions.

If you're going for a sporty look, I think that slotted one looks pretty awesome.

thanks, i guess i should have added that i really like the slotted primary, then only thing that's really kinda bothering me is the "circular" slots, the ones on the bulge at the end opposite where the derby cover goes

I think a chrome one without the slots would look better. I'm not really feeling the one in the pic.

CLEAN IS KING MAN... the slots will just draw attention away from the bike... presonally i would just chome it... if i am not mistaken that is just a cover and will bolt on over your stock one right? you would have the gray showing though then... does not seem so cool... i think a solid would be sick though

HA! That's what I was wondering. Is there another plate behind; it looks like you are seeing right through it? Better order some primary fluid with it.......
