Default Valve covers

I think I just fell in love,
We went to a bike show today, some OK bikes but mostly if I'm honest weren't that special, we went in the car as the whether wasnt too promising, although it brightened up, anyway there was on particular bike that was very nice which had some real nice parts on, notably a Roland Sands finned cam cover which is even nice in person than I had imagined,
but for me the Valve covers on it were really something special, they were Covington cycles finned panhead style valve covers, the one I saw were in black but I looked and they do them in chrome, they were the real deal and I gotta have some later this year, absolutely beautiful, no pics as I didnt take my phone but heres a link

They are nice . I had them on the old ride but they are a little expensive . I cant tell you how they hold up as I got rid of the bike a little while latter but they seemed good quality.

Holy hell those are pricey. Drag has some nice pan tops for half the price.

Set on the flea bay, I'd check your local indy. I'm sure they can get them just as cheap if not cheaper

I have a couple of their pieces...top notch stuff but you are going to pay for it.

When these guys say billet that's what they mean, milled from a solid piece not cast like some peoples "billet" stuff.

If you think of the materials, set up, machine time, hand finishing and them chroming its not really a bad price.

Its one of those statement pieces. If my bike was done I could buy something like this once a year if it was really going to make the look.

But since I cant seem to finish it my money is safe!
