Default plastic cover
has anyone seen a replacement for the cover on the center of the handlebars? I have a 09 RKC and replaced the plastic ring for the handlebar lock and would like to replace the other cheap looking plastic piece that is farther toward the front of the bike.

I would love for someone to make a chrome one that is engraved with Road King like the billet shift lever that I have.

Anything would be better than the cheesey plastic piece.

My lock cover is from HD. But I can't find one for the other cover.

I was thinking the same thing...you would think with everything else they make they would have something...You might just have to get creative and make something

I have been meaning to ask this same thing. I am surprised it isn't an HD accessory.

$40 really isn't too bad of a price.
I could see room for improvement, maybe a raised initial to personalize it.
Well, I hope this helps you.
Thanks,

He already has the HD lock cover.... As do I.

He's talking about the piece on the handlebar cover that is black plastic with a thin brushed aluminum piece of metal on it.

Has anyone check to see if the old chrome housing and the new chrome housing would interchange, they look the same except for that plastic piece of crap in the middle of the new ones.
