OK, so I've had my bike for a week....
Made a couple 100 mile plus trips and a 500 mile over nighter...

Been looking at bling ( A LOT) also...

Have my grill protector, over-sized brake peddle,  Kuryakun grips with throttle boss....

Looking at the other shiny stuff of course and was thinking, OK, start at the front and work your way back...... Well, that came to a screeching halt....

I can find ALL sorts of Brake Caliper covers for the LEFT side, Kuryakun, show chrome, you name it..... What I cannot seem to find is a RIGHT side cover....

I'll be the first to admit that I'm not the greatest at mechanical stuff and at this point I know enough about Valk's to know I don't know $hit BUT this is perplexing....

Does someone have the answer to this? Is it just that the Interstate has dual brakes and the standard/ tour has one?

Will the covers off a 1500 Goldwing fit?

Thanks for the help.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the expectation of arriving in one pretty, well preserved piece but, to be skidded into broadside at full speed, battered, bruised, and thoroughly used up, having poked the grim reaper in the eye shouting "GERONIMO"

No and no.....

You can use those left covers you find and they are only for the left side.  But to be correct you need to find/buy both left and right sides, and probably at the same time. 

In lieu of covers, they make a small chrome add-on that adheres to the face of the caliper (piston area).  I am quite sure those are still available but good luck finding both caliper covers... and for a reasonable price.
