what would you use? fiberglass? I think if you painted it the color of the bike or gloss black you would cjhange your mind about the plastic battery cover. the only reason it looks horrible is because it looks like a plastic cover....

Coyote,
Thanks. I was wondering how it would handle a heavy rain.
I found this:

That seems to be a decent setup. I guess if there is some truth to the security system having trouble with a metal cover, then it could be problematic.
I sent White Guy a message regarding his leather application.

The setup you mentioned above from NYC choppers is for the seat only. In their picture they just painted the plastic pan gloss black or atleast I think they did. LOL. I have seen this done on quite a few bikes and it makes the plastic piece look more like a metal piece.

Doesn't really bother me much.
