Looking at these but can't find anybody that has tried them.  This is cheaper and easier than pulling mine and sending them to be chromed.

I had in the past used the Kuryakyn covers that was made for the VTX 1800. These will work on the Standard and the Tourer models. The brake line for the Interstate is run different. Some has put the tourer brake lines on the Interstate and then use the covers. One member named JP use to sale the chromed master cylinders. But he has stopped selling them.

While it almost seems an example of the "If it appears too good to be true, it probably is" saying I'd sure like someone to give these a positive report.  Would be a great find for Valk owners in lieu of taking a chance on chroming work quality. Undecided

Bought my chromed ones from Big Mike at Inzane - LaCrosse.  Had to purchase the sight glass, which is available online.  Sadly for many of us Big Mike is enjoying retirement from the Valk parts business. Cry

Don't see the Valk on the fitment chart at first glance.  These sure would have looked nice on our old Magnas!

Where did you purchase the sight glass? Got a link? Thanks.

I bought the chrome master cylinders just to see how they look. The price is cheap, everything looks good. They come with everything including a rebuild kit. I will try them on my bobber first. Bought a second set just cause. I'll let you know in a few weeks how they do. I'm changing up my front end. 6 degree rake, new stainless steel brake lines, black powder coated lower forks, and black powder coated fat fork tubes. Ehh that's it, oh new rubbers too front and back. Ohh yeah, powder coating my bars and risers too uglystupid2

I would be interested in knowing how your powder coating went with the lower forks.
