Is there a right side Chrome cover for the front brake caliper?

I found the left side cover by Show Chrome, but can't find the right side.

Thanks

There are two versions. I have several sets of each and will get P/Ns if no one else replies.

I don't think they are available anymore. If I remember correctly another Honda model only had the right side disc. And that created an extra amount of the lefts. Second hand is probably the only option.
VTX1800.

That's my other "other" set(s)...

ETA:

For the smooth set: 55-107R and 55-107L.

For the original ribbed covers: 1-237 (L) and 1-238 (R). I need to check my stash to be sure of the right side number.

FWIW, JC Whitney also sold these around the time the Valkyrie was first out. Additionally, Rivco offered a swept-style set.

Thank you for the info.  Curious if you know... will these fit the GL1500's?  (Probably not since you ref'd the 1800?)      I have the Left side on Model# 53-447.

GL1500s - Gold Wing, or Valkyrie?

I have a set of the 55-107s on my I/S. Actually, "had" - they've been powdercoated and are awaiting a fork swap to go back on.

Pardon, meant our Valkyries.  So the 55-107s fit the Valkyrie Interstate?  Very cool

The definitive list as far as Show Chrome/Big Bike Parts and Add-On:

Smooth "dome" covers (work on 1500 Valkyrie and VTX1800: 55-107R, 55-107L

Ribbed covers (Show Chrome): 1-238 (L), 51-337 (R)

Ribbed covers (Add On): 45-9100 (R), 45-9100L (L)

Note the last two are identical in terms of design. The last two sets of P/Ns were verified this morning (I have a few sets of each).

I can't find a P/N for the Rivco covers. Kuryakyn made (and I think still makes) press-on "covers" that enclose just the two cylinders of each caliper.

Bagger,
Just got a 55-107R in. When dry fitting, it doesn't appear to line up with the mounting holes and clearing the rotor on the bottom.  Did you have to remove any material from the bottom part of the 55-107R to clear the rotor?

Thanks,
Steve

Steve,

I don't recall having to do so. Let me get a set of spare covers out of my stash and see what's what.
