Good point. You need to balance cosmetic and functional

For those that like covers, can we see some pics of em ??? I actually debated myself on whether to use the cover or go for the inner primary

Kury makes some nice stuff no doubt and I've bought some where I could not get to chrome the original, at least quickly. My inner chrome from HD looks like it was mae for it " I think I'll do the right side next winter. Get rid of all those set screws that cover the stuff.... You cannot beat the HD inner chromed. IMO

Have you sent anything out to get chromed lately ? WOW!!! with shipping and everything you'd probably have just as much in it as a new already chromed one.

I bought the Chromed Inner Primary itself. It looks so much better than just a cover! 100% chrome all the way around and absolutely looks so awesome from every angle!

Ride Safe, Mike

Not on a StreetGlide, but here is a picture of the Kury covers on my Ultra. I have the front extension as well as the rear extension on there with it.





Looks pretty good to me.

Seen the Kury cover...looks good...and I like their stuff generally...but the fit and finish of the HD full chrome IP is superior.

Sorry but when it comes to the Primary, nothing beats the real thing
