Default Chrome Sprocket cover

I want to put chrome on my belt sprocket. Has anyone used a chrome cover and wished that they went with the full chrome sprocket? Is the the cover made decent. Im trying to decide what to go with. I know the cost is a big difference.

Thank you

I still believe in the old saying..."You get what you pay for". I've Never put a chrome cover on a sprocket but....This is just my opinion. If you paid upwards of $10,000.00 or $15,000.00 for a Motorcycle why put cheap crap on it?.
To me it's like putting Wal-Mart Spinner Wheel Covers on a Ferrari.

We puut one on a 2000 Fat Boy (my bud's). Looks pretty good but it's still a cover - so I go with IronAss too.

I got the Harley cover last winter. I love mine. I repainted the back side high gloss and installed the chrome cover.
Big savings, looks great, IMHO.

I can find no fault with the covers. They look real and they hold up well. I'm really not in to wasting my money.

This could use a bath, but it shines up great.

If you want a show quality look that can take in close scrutiny then the chrome sprocket is the way to go. If you want a scoot that looks good as people walk by, can't beat the bang for the buck of the cover. IMHO.
