Chrome MasterCylinder cover?
Any body got a pic of a chrome master cylinder cover installed on their bike. I was looking at this kit http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=120307694000 wanted to see one installed.

Here you go. This is my 2007 Low Rider with the chrome set up. If you do this, you'll also want to go with the Diamondback /braided cable lines. Just makes it look so much better than the black plastic lines......then you'll want snazzier grips to off set the chrome, then you'll want the engine start, light "switch" covers & housing...and the list just keeps growing and the bucks keep flowing.
I noticed the Ebay set didnt come with a set of those switch cover & housings, but you can fine them on Ebay as well I'm sure.
I have the full chome job MC which is more expensive than the one on Ebay which is just a "cover".

Yes, but it should look basically the same..... my switch's have a chrome housing, but they have "covers" put over the actual rocking switches. Anything looks better than the original.
Here is a before and after Chrome Controls

Those covers look like what they are cheesy, clunky covers. Just spend the coin and get a complete control set. You can get an aftermarket set for 139 bucks....master cylinder, clutch perch, control housings, and levers. I've had mine on for 8 years with zero problems. I have put on about a dozen sets for others with no problems.

But either way I wouldn't do any covers they never look good!!

I find it hard to believe that you can get that set chrome for 139 bucks... Your talking a chrome master cylinder, chrome brackets, chrome switch housings, chrome clutch bracket and chrome switches buttons?

Been running them for nearly 10 years. Other vendors have them as well. Try Jireh Cycles. They are usually Midwest brand. BTW, I never said anything about chrome buttons...
