Default swing arm covers

I have seen a few swing arm covers that only cover about a six inch section of the top of the swingarm, the part closest to the seat. Anyone know who makes these?

Harley does. I just got your PM. I'll check out the pricing. I have them on my ride. Be warned they are cheap plastic fake chrome.

And they don't fit newer Softails.

Newer Softails would have to go with a Kury part, but I doubt you'd want it if you have a swingarm bag: http://www.kuryakyn.com/Products/382...arm-Cover-Sets

Figures. The other options is to get the fill swing arm covers from Kuryakyn that come with axle covers too.

Don't know why HD is selling this cheap plastic stuff for $90! I threw mine away after only a week of use ...got scratched up bad by a stupid girl I picked up....also she had high heel boots and melted them on my pipes...some people just don't care about your ride....I don't let just anyone ride with me anymore.

Ur blaming a stupid girl "U picked up in High Heel Boots" that messed up Ur ride..

Seems to me that the owner of the bike didn't care what the pretty little thing had on when U invited her for a ride on Ur bike.

If I invited anyone for a ride I'd for sure check out and instruct them on were to and not to put their feet/ shoes/ Boots.
