Default Sportster Engine Covers

Hello All,

I have been looking to change engine cover on my 1200R but dont know exactly what I want yet. Have seen some on eBay but they all look cheesey. I found some other like Joker Machine and one called bquazysportster that look better and would match the two-tone fins of my engine, might go with one of them but not sure yet.

Tell me what you think?

well, the finned sets look pretty similar, if it were me, I'd go with the cheaper set. Pick what you like though.

oh you mean derby cover, and here I was clicking on the link expecting to see some sort of fabricated tarp to go over your engine only. HAAAA!
