Looks great!  What finish will they get Paint/powder coat, chrome or just polish the aluminum?

I assume they are Cobra covers? Mine are flaking, as are my radiator cap cover and my swing arm covers. Interested in what the plan is for refinishing yours too. I was thinking about sending mine off for stripping and Some quality chrome applied. Probably cost more than the original parts though.

Those are not Cobra. His dad is fabricating them. There are obvious differences from The Cobra covers

I wonder why all your Cobra stuff is flaking. I have 15 or 16 Cobra doo dads and none are flaking

I wonder the same thing as the bike has always been kept inside and clean. I have to assume that it was a bad batch.
