Default Rocker Box Covers?

Ok, so the '12 Wide Glide appearntly only comes with Chrome Rocker Box Covers...

I like the Aluminum look better... (just my prefference)

Can the Chrome ones be sand blasted to get the aluminum look or do new ones need to be bought?

Thanks

Junior

Best bet is to trade for them. I know many of the folks on the EG standards and such usually try and swap theirs out for chrome.

Dawg,

Thanks for the idea... I will probably wait do it as a winter project, but will file that away in my brain...

Just for clarification though... You said

"... many of the folks on the EG standards and such... "

Is that a forum? And I'm thinking EG stands for Electra-Glide?

Sorry for my ignorance... Hehe
