There's proof that anything can be overdone. Not knocking it, but that's too much for me. I don't know why, but the chrome 'covers' that are just chrome plated tin to just add shine over the engine don't appeal to me. My engine is silver (Se ultra) and I like a balance of engine color and chrome. Even more so with a black engine/tranny. If it is a replacement chrome part, cool, if it just 'covers up' the engine, it's senseless to me. Jmo....
I'm not a fan of the covers either? But it's your bike, you go.

Bring the chrome on, lets see some more pics. I wonder how many HD engines have gone up in flames because of chrome covers????

Here's mine.
Chrome starter, and inner primary going on now. I was going to do the cover thing and decided to just install the real deal when I can afford it, and if its available. They make covers for EVERYTHING!! I think when I looked at the Kuryakyn site, there were like 18 possible covers that could go on my engine.

Well said.....The guy I bought my '09 Ultra from covered the entire engine and trans with Kuryakyn chrome stuff and it suddenly hit me one day that stuff makes the bike look like a pimpmobile instead of a man's motorcycle. Thank god I came to my senses and got rid of that crap.

Took off all the 103 accents, put a chrome derby cover, timing cover and six speed cover on her. Added the HD billet shifter and brake levers, bullet shifter linkage, kept the stock streamliner pegs. Added a HD Number 1 Stage 1 Air Cleaner cover, adding this kit http://www.depss.com/kits.php/3/Engine_Kits/ in a couple of weeks, it never ends!!!!!
