I finally got my hideous, ostentatious, ridiculous, flaming-death inducing rotor covers installed.   :cooldude:



Let the hating begin....    :'(

Where did you finally end up finding them? Looks good to me.     :cooldude:

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.

You were correct.............. Black & Chrome = fast .......... Black & more Chrome = FASTER ........

Looks great Chuck!

Where're the white-walls?   :2funny:

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

White walls?  I don't understand the questions, white walls are for Harley's

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.

Interesting idea....

I'll have to ask Rocketman if adding a chrome photon to a black photon makes it faster.  :cooldude:

I'm not entirely sure what wavelength "chrome" is.  (:

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.

Yes, that is correct Houdini. My standard had them on there when I bought it. They never really suited me so once I bought my jack and adapter I figured I would see how I liked it without them. The rest is history. Glad I could help!

Yes, and the Wife and I love it!  we have spent a large number of 10 hour days riding on that bike with great pleasure since upgrading that seat.

Just when the highway straightened out for a mile
And I was thinkin' I'd just cruise for a while
A fork in the road brought a new episode
Don't you know...

Conform, go crazy, or ride a motorcycle...
