Here's some pics of the Covington Valve covers, and the Nacelle that were fitted last week, also the RSD Cam cover, pictures arent the best, but I can tell you that these latest mods are really awesome, the Nacelle has transformed the front end of the bike, the covers are really eyecatching and I'm loving the new look, personally I hate the look of the standard twincam valve covers.

Si
I'll try and get some tomorrow, it changes the whole look of the engine,

Socal Yankee,
I've got the stand here still in the box, i've had a little look, seems I need to cut some steel off to make it mount up, the I think its a case of cutting off the foot thing that sticks out and seeing how it needs to be welded back on, I'm figuring it can be shortened and welded back on so it comes straight out rather than kicking up.

Did you get your Cams done at the same time? If so, which you go for in the end?

You happy with the Nacelle? I think they make one hell of a difference, looks great from the riders eye view too!

Si
I only thought about doing the cams after it was in the shop, so it looks like it'll have to wait till next time, After much help from another member Oct, I've decided on Andrews 46H cams.
The Nacelle make such a huge difference, yes i'm real happy with it.
Gotta get me some bags now.
