Default rocker covers

Anybody know if they make chrome to fit over the rocker covers. Real ones seem expensive.

No chrome covers for the rocker covers.

Options 1)polish the aluminum and they would look real nice. 2)look for at swap meets 3) your independent shops may know someone who's got them laying around and for a good deal.

How' the bike fix going? Hope it's good.

Thanks man. I'll get to polishing when I get her back.
I went by earlier in the week and almost vomited. She looked pitful there in the shop. No motor.....no nothin', just a gas tank. The boys in service said she'll be back home in a week.

.............If they are aluminum you can polish them with a buffer with 3m automotive buffing compound,this will take the heavy oxidation off .Rinse them off with soapy water ,let dry then use a terry cloth towel with Mothers mag wheel & alum. polish and rub by hand ,this will add more luster and is less aggressive .You can also use a 3/8 drill motor with buff wheel attachments ,which are available at parts house & Home Depot. If they are chrome you can try JIREHS CYCLES for new replacements .(best price i've found)
Good luck

Or send them to www.westcoastchrome.com Like I did mine and be happy and no polishing.. John does a great job and he doesn't charge you an arm and leg. Best prices over the net that I have found.And he stands behind his work too.
