Chrome swingarm covers
I am looking to order the Kury chrome swingarm covers (#7815) for my wifes 09 Deluxe.
( http://store.valueaccessories.net/sw...softail86.aspx )
However I am not sure if they will fit, it does say they will not fit with stock exhausts and need either staggered duals or a 2-1 system, however we have fitted Samson 33" longtails.
Has anyone fitted these to a 09 or later or know if these covers will fit or not?

I just got off the phone with my Kuryakyn Rep and one of their Techs, they said the covers will fit no problem with your true dual fishtail systems...
I have one question for you though. Are you worried about the chrome changing the 'rigid' look in which softails were built to look? These are your bikes and you will do with them what you please and that is great, that being said, every time I see a softail with a chrome swinger or chrome covers on the swinger it looks as if the *** end of the frame was chrome dipped and the rest was not. I am as much of a chrome ***** as anyone else, so don't think I am knocking you for adding chrome, I just want to know if you considered how much this will change the appearance of your solid frame looking bike...

I'm not a fan of covers of any type. As another option to consider, albeit more expensive, is a chrome swingarm. The covers don't cover the whole swingarm, so there is always the black toward the tail end that's exposed....which makes it really stand out as a cover. Just a thought.

I can understand what you are saying but we saw the Deluxe shown below and my wife decided she wanted to base hers in a similar way and as you can see this has the chrome swingarm, not sure if its covers or not.
We have the Samsons, tins are in the paint shop and other chrome do da's been added

I wouldn't see a problem with the covers with any pipes.
While chroming the Swingarm is better, the covers look fine ESP. For price

I've looked at them.. and I've seen some that looks really good on Luxs..
but with the bags on my Heritage you really cant even see them..
Hope you get it figured out as they do add some nice looking bling back there...
