Default What to Do With My Strut Covers....?

I could just take em off, but with the detach sideplates and rack I use sometimes, I'd prefer to have them as a first line of defense...I'd rather they get scratched than the frame itself.

4 options I figger....leave them as is, powdercoat vivid black, p/c wrinkle black, or swap for chrome.

What say you?

I voted leave them stock because they visually tie in with your rocker covers and front end.

Keep um stock unless you end up coating your front end. Then get everything done at the same time.

I took mine off, I like the look and have no problems with detachable hardware. If you powdercoat them they will get scratched. Either take them off or leave them alone. They look fine.
