A couple pics for a little inspiration. Don't know who they belong to but it is what I intended to do to a Softail Deluxe for the wife.

Thanks for the compliments guys. Wish I could take credit for all of it but the previous owner got it all started, I'm just finishing it up.
Please give us some feedback on the pan-style rocker covers - there was some intrest in these some time ago (page 8 of this thread), but intrest died off after a report of leak problems (page 15 of this thread).

Have you tried Chilhowee? Don't know what they would charge you for it, but they worked with me on what exactly I was looking for.
