Default INFO ON CHROME FORK COVERS

Was thinking about installing chome lower fork sliders on my 2001&nbsp\\;Fat Boy&nbsp\\;but didn't want to get into a lot of $$$. Anyone have any input on chrome covers instead of the fork sliders?

Just my .02 but they look cheap and cheasy. Have you looked into doing a chrome swap on ebay or any other chrome companies? Some harley dealers do chrome swaps too.&nbsp\\;

Thought about it but trying to avoid&nbsp\\;the cost of a couple hundred bucks for the forks, $100 - $200&nbsp\\;for labor and&nbsp\\;don't have the time or patience right now to do it. Was looking for something quick and easy....
May be a winter project!

Then wait until you have the money, time and patience. Take the money you were going to spend on covers and save it towards the real thing....
&nbsp\\;
Did mine in the Winter and it's worth the wait....

i have to agree with everyone... do it properly or not at all.&nbsp\\; btw have you taken off the reflectors on the forks ?&nbsp\\; this alone can make a positive difference.&nbsp\\;
