I finally got my hideous, ostentatious, ridiculous, flaming-death inducing rotor covers installed.   Let the hating begin.... :'( |

They look good.
Consistent with the flame theme of your bike, consider this: Have a flame pattern laser-cut or water-cut so that you can see the rotor through the cutout. Paint the rotor with a random red/orange/yellow pattern. As you roll, at slow speeds it will look like flames flickering.

It isn't my cup of tea, but if you're happy, I'm happy!  Congrats on finding them. |

Where're the white-walls? White walls? I don't understand the questions, white walls are for Harley's Where did you finally end up finding them? A new Valk owner that didn't like them on his bike contacted me after seeing my last post. Is that correct hmt81? Vic, I have a cool set of caliper covers that came with the rotor covers that won't fit on the Interstate if you're interested in them for your jade Valk. Consistent with the flame theme of your bike, consider this: Have a flame pattern laser-cut or water-cut so that you can see the rotor through the cutout. Paint the rotor with a random red/orange/yellow pattern. As you roll, at slow speeds it will look like flames flickering. Interesting idea.... |

Black & Chrome = fast .......... Black & more Chrome = FASTER ........ I'll have to ask Rocketman if adding a chrome photon to a black photon makes it faster. |

I'm not entirely sure what wavelength "chrome" is. (: Consistent with the flame theme of your bike, consider this: Have a flame pattern laser-cut or water-cut so that you can see the rotor through the cutout. Paint the rotor with a random red/orange/yellow pattern. As you roll, at slow speeds it will look like flames flickering.
That sounds REALLY cool. Of course, then we'll need to know whether you mean black slow speeds, or two-tone slow speeds, which really are black fast speeds... Oh, never mind. Just post a video if you do that. I'd like to see it. |
