I'm all about, "Live to Ride, Forced to Work!".

Man I loved the 90's! I would do it all over again if I could. I have all those same covers on my '91. Maybe it's just the pictures but your covers seem to have fared better than mine have. I may be interested in the Derby, Primary and Gas covers. Or the whole lot at the right price. Only thing I wouldn't really need is the air cleaner cover. PM me if you are interested in moving them cheap, LOL. Peace!

Already been spoken for. But if he backs out, you're number three on the list of people that want to go back to the future...

Going to be a couple of weeks before I swap them all out. Too much on my plate right now, and since it's snowing and in the 30's there's no rush to get things done on the Harley...

No worries! I like mine just the way it is, LOL. It's a cold MF here too so mine are idle til spring. Projects included. Looking better at the pics and yours seem to have fared about as good as mine. Missing some of the black in the lettering and such. And the only covers I would really use are the primary inspection cover and the ignition cover (or whatever that's called). So consider me a last resort if you need to move em. Thanks!

22 years, and they held up surprisingly. One thing The MoCo does well is chrome.

This one's from the mid 80's and it's staying right where it is, one and only hand made.

It does make some sort of statement....

On a side note, I think I'll venture out into the garage and drain the oils. Swap out the air cleaner and cam cone covers. Supposed to get up to 5" of snow tomorrow. Will make for an interesting drive downtown to watch the Lions vs Bears...
