Thanks for the kind words. The company who makes the covers is a french company www.estmd.com and they are not that expensive compared to those cheap chines shing-a-lings 🤣🤣🤣

Hey, no problem. Lol I guess im coming from the perspective of just paying to get things powdercoated, vs aftermarket parts. IMO 900 bones for a primary cover is quite a premium. For all that price alone, I was able to purchase all spare engine trim (including the primary) and pay to have it powdercoated. I will admit this though, the ESTMD pieces are very unique!

Nice bikes! Did you rattle-can the EGA over the HD star yourself? If so, nice work. Can you tell me about that rear license plate that you have? What are you doing for rear signals?

I swapped out my 1 1/4 Hell Bent bars for 1 1/2. I think the thick fork tubes and slider covers called for thicker bars.

I decided to go with the LED low profile signals under the clutch and brake levers. They are definitely pretty bright
