Yes, I like it.  Like it alot.....really dresses up the fender. 



It's much easier to install it while you have your fender off of the bike.   :cooldude:

Yep, I have one. Nice addition to a somewhat plain looking front fender.

I have one. I put a board between the tire and fender when drilling. Or you could do it during a tire change too.  I like it but it doesn't fit as smoothly as I thought it would. There's kind of a gap,but acceptable.

I've got one on my 2000 tourer. It's beeyoootiful!! :cooldude:

I have one on front and rear fenders, Yes I like them.
  Tip; place a small piece of wood between the tire and fender when drilling. Check your measurements twice, drill once :cooldude:
If you can't be a good example: be a WARNING!!

The PO of my motorcycle had them installed; front and rear.
I took both off.
I prefer the cleaner look.

Motorcycling is not, of itself, inherently dangerous.
It is however, extremely unforgiving of: inattention, ignorance, incompetence or stupidity.

Had one on an IS, did not like it, took it off and sold it.
I do like the cash it generated.

Why did you guys take them off?  Then you'd have holes to fill.  

And Pete.....why did you have one on an Insterstate?  You should have already had the oem Honda tip on your I/S.  You had the National cycle tip on there too?

I have it on mine. Probably have every piece of chrome available for it. It was all on here when I bought it. Even had the front disc covers on the front when I got it. Didn't like them and sold them before I found out what they were really worth.

Made someone very happy.

Be polite. Be professional. But, have a plan to kill everyone you
meet.

woops, my bad.  this is the one i have and i THINK i got it from a fellow valker.  many mount it further back on the fender.  i have it mounted on the tip and like it there.

Was on the bike when I got it. and Yes. The two together looked uglier that either one separate.

Only one hole to fill. Yes, with small rubber plug, hardly noticeable on the dark green.

And I thank you Joe...Now...the wife has yet to get me to install them.  Guess I need to get off my hiney and do that since it has only been 3 months since I got them for her...
