Default derby cover spacer options
I need to put a spacer on my derby for the VPC. I'm leaning toward a gloss black one to add some zip and break it up a bit, but not sure if I shouldn't just stick with a polished chrome one. Thoughts? Pictures?

I thought those VPC units were supposed to fit behind the derby without any problems??

It depends on the derby cover.... Stock covers work fine.

No problem, I think I am going with the black, but I wondered if anyone had pics of either way. I use the HD poice commemorative collection derby cover and the VPC doesn't fit. Right now I went back to the stock cover until I get the spacer.
