Anyone have a pictures of a black 1800 with Honda's chrome side covers installed? 

Also, I'm still trying to decide on the Honda Boulevard (short) screen. Anyone have front and side pics?
I need to do SOMETHING to this bike to make it my own :-)

Thanks,
Steve

Don't have a pic of a black with chrome covers but will have a red with chrome covers. I ordered a set of the Kuryakyn 3901 Lighting Valve Covers  and will get them sometime this week. I didn't know if I really wanted them but did want some chrome covers. Thought about chroming the oem valve covers but don't want to go through the hassles although I like the look a bit better than the Kuryakyn covers.

You wanted some pics of the valve cover on the bike here you go. It is the GL1800 Lightning Valve Covers by Kuryakyn and I was hesitant to get them because I wanted to chrome the covers. I really didn't want a add on cover but was pleasantly surprised at the quality and look of these. I wasn't sure at first but they grow on you.

I know you wanted a black bike but the covers are black and you could Photoshop the rest but it will give you an idea. If you need a bit more detail I could take a pic of just the covers but at least you get idea.

You may be right I should have read better, but we will see, is he speaking of the ones that are plastic and go where the Valkyrie is and the frame and swing arm covers?

I think so. By the way those chrome covers look pretty good. I think they would look great on my black Valk. coolsmiley

Too bad they don't make them in black.  It would be cheaper, and easier than getting mine powder coated black.  Maybe I will try to find a used set and get them powder coated.  cooldude

Hi guys, thanks to everyone who responded.

I was looking for picks of the Honda side covers, the chrome ones sold by Honda that go right under the seats.   Not the pivot-arm covers or the engine covers from Kuryakin, I have those. 

I like the blacked out look of the bike, but thinking it may need a little 'bling'.  I was hoping to find a pic of one with these already installed, so I could see if they'd work for me.

Thanks!

The chrome covers were not for me.  Available for $100 plus shipping.

Looks like you get the Goldstar for reading comprehension today  Wink Thanks I do like them after getting used to the difference.

The black valve covers are available its the chrome that is not readily available
