Default Pulley or Cover

Besides the $230.00 obvious answer there are a couple of reasons. It depends on what kind of wheels you are running on the back. If they are spokes you can see the backside of the pulley through the spokes. For that matter any kind of spokes, anything except a solid wheel. The only other reason I can think of is to match your wheel.

the cover is a cheap alternative...IMHO you bike is way to cool to don a cover over getting the real thing.

I agree with Dyna Rider about having it match the wheel. I was fortunate in that I was able to add a matching pully and matching rotors. It really completes the look you're trying to achieve.

do the cover, no one will ever know... i have done 6 covers and only 1 pully on people bikes, you can not tell unless you get down there and look though the other side around the rotor... covers look good man! chrome it out!
