Panhead valve covers
How do you all feel about the aftermarket panhead valve covers? Too poser? I'm re-styling my FXDF along the lines of a Duo-Glide; I think they'd add to the effect...for a price.Already bought the RSD ones, but they're chrome tops only so I need stock chrome lowers to match as mine are polished...

My friend has the pan covers on his wideglide and looks great, I have also seen the knuckle rocker covers on a cross bones, I prefer the pan covers, also they make a kidney style cam cover to finish the look

they look nice, i have seen them a few times but, to me it just screams fake, sort of like when people use to put homemade 4x4 or z-71 decals on the back of their trucks
i relize we all do things to change our bikes and make them different but that is just trying to make it look like something it isn't
it actually looks good but i just cant get past it and you did ask

Like the new Indian?
I was looking at a "cutaway" engine they had at a show the other day, and it's pretty interesting what all they had to do to pull that off. Seemed a little fakey to me, and I wouldn't mind if it just looked like an overhead valve engine. Very pretty engine though.

I have been wanting them, just cannot justify the price of the Vulcan Industry ones. How much was the set you purchased.
I would imagine for the full effect, the engine and cylinders would need proper painting.
