The kit is $199, the full HD kit is $360 from Chicago HD, I would go with teh HD kit again, has the axel caps and the upper tube covers also.

The Kuryakyn cover only does half of the fork. I was going to get them, but the ones I was looking at don't go up to the chrome fork tube covers. I think it would look ridiculous with a 1/3 section of polished aluminum on my forks, while the top & bottom pieces were chrome.

Not a very good look in my opinion. It only wraps half way around. Get the real stuff at 20% off and have them installed, you'll be happy you did. There is a reason why some things are less expensive !!

You will be much happier with the real chrome setup. It looks a lot nicer.

The only problem with "COVERS" is just that, they only cover not replace. Always leaves an area for moisture to be trapped. And you cant see whats rusting or going on behind the covers. Thats just my opinion.
