Default Trim ring for A/C cover

Does anyone know of an aftermarket company that makes trim rings for the A/C cover that are sturdier than the recycled beer can that comes with the bike. I was looking for something that matched the color of my bike (cobalt blue). Something subtle. Mine was damaged when I mistakenly took a friends advice. He said "don't bother trying to get the warning sticker off the A/C cleaner. just flip it over." Great idea except that the trim ring was now upside down. I tried to remove it carefully but the glue is way stronger than the tin!

Not sure if its the same as the car graphics, but if you heat them they come off real easy.
Sometimes you can use a hair drier, I have used something like it but a bitstronger made for use on shrink tubing.
It takes off car graphics very easily, you just have to be careful not to over heat the paintaround it.

The damage is already done! Now I'm looking for a replacement I can live with.

Just start searching the net - there are as many covers as you can imagine

Oh, and BTW - a heat gun or hair dryer will do the trick!

I took off all sticker's, even marker reflector's on front shock's and off the rear finder, if you remove these pieces, try dental floss, once you have them pulled away some, just ease um off and use hairspray or rubbing alcohol no worrrie's! I try not to ride at night here, to many liquored up cowboy's, or old people, it's jungle out here in night, and also do not like all the e.p.a sticker's telling me how to ride. Just rebal with out a cause.

Thanks for all the replies. I'm not looking for the entire A/C cover, just the trim ring in the center. Will scour the internet on Sunday, after I install my Fuelpak. Weather sure ain't good for ridin'.
