Been trying to find chrome covers for the front calipers. They fit snugly over the calipers following the contours and stay there with double sided tape. Not the "accents" that are shaped like a kidney bean and just stick to the face of the caliper. I have them on my I/S and want a pair for the Std. I thought they were Kuryakyn, but can't find them on their site. I have Googled "chrome caliper covers" until I am googly eyed  with no luck. |

I think the ones I have match your description. I believe I got them from "Pro One". Does that sound right? Good luck finding them, I've had mine for 11 or 12 years.

Sorry Steve... I may have purchased the last three new sets in the Universe last year. I, like you, was looking for those exact covers. I don't like any of the other ones out there.
Google-d my butt off trying to find them. I even called Kuryakyn who said they were discontinued. I checked tons of sites and called all the "big players" in the accessories game. While checking around further, J&P cycles showed them on their site, so I called. The customer service lady said that their computer showed discontinued and not-in-stock, but that she would check their other system that had something to do with their internal inventory system or whatever... she said that system showed 3 sets. She sent someone to physically look for them... and yep, 3 sets.
I bought them all. The last 3 sets for sale retail in the world? Maybe, even though I am sure there is a dusty set sitting in some dealership in lower Chapulchapek.
Anyway... I put one set on my I/S and the second set on my wife's Trike. The third set is, right now, not for sale (I hate the other covers that much).... but.....
I could part with it in trade (plus $) for a Rattlebars kickshifter.... my wife really wants one for her trike.

...I may have purchased the last three new sets in the Universe last year... O.K. I may have gotten the last three sets in the United States  Good Luck and keep us posted that they in fact have them. I ran into a few sites when I was looking that said they had them, when they actually didn't (keeping the fingers crossed). |

Hi Mojo, That's a Really shiny caliper cover, but the one I am looking for is much smaller. They have these stainless pie pans - can it be made to work??   And is it just me, or does Mojo look like James Coburn??  |
