Bought this from a fellow VRCC member. Been wanting one of these grills for a long time. The only thing that would make it better would be some Cobra radiator sides. I think I will never accomplish the final piece.  Wish I had it for this pic  |

Mike "hubcapsc" has a set as well. Maybe he will chime in with a picture. I have the fender rails and rear brake reservoir cover. But I too will likely never finish with the radiator covers.  |

I have a "Big Mike" Red radiator cover to go with the Cobra side covers... I don't know why I like the red cover so much, but I do... I won the 6-bar radiator cover at the last Cheaha, and I started to put it on, but... I got the side covers new in the pack from a cut-out bin at the old Laurens SC Honda shop for $130...  -Mike |

I've got 'em on the Silver Bullet. This bike has seen many changes. One thing that will not be changed out is those covers!  |

Sounds like I should put the ones I have on the bench up for sale here? I have them on my purple 97. Look really good. I got a set for the supercharged bike I got from Big Mike, but I wound up selling the bike before I put the covers on, so I have a set. Look like new.
I am looking for a set of Cobra cam end covers though.

The Bullet has the Cobra cam end covers, and the neck cover above the gas tank. I'm kicking myself hard for selling the flame fork covers.

I have an extra set of (not quite perfect, good to use) Cobra cam end covers I'd chip in towards getting the radiator side covers into chrisj's hands... -Mike "and an extra rear brake reservoir cover even..." |

Now someone needs to come out of the woodwork and offer a set of these radiator side covers to Punisher... he wants my set so bad that I'm afraid to stay at the same motel as him for fear of what I might find (or not find) on my bike the next morning  ... -Mike |

Big thanks to Mike and to MP for arranging a deal that could not be passed on. Looks terrific!   That looks really nice with the 9 bar grill.  |

Cobra should be paying you for your supporting them! Looks awesome! My rad cap has a temperature gauge on top so I was wondering about yours. Thanks for posting the photos ....... with the amount of dust on your bike, I'm wondering if you actually ride it!!  |

Well, I don't take EVERYTHING apart, but a couple wrenches are a standard part of my cleaning supplies. Once a month for the big cleanings sure, I take some things off or apart to facilitate a more thorough cleaning. but for just daily and after a ride I just do a nice gentle wipedown Oh, and thanks for the compliment! Don't mean to make you feel like a slacker............just clean it |

The topper finished the last bike project. It's done all that's left to do is put some more miles on this like new machine. Judy loves this last mod. Usually she would say something like "looks like a radiator to me" After she saw all these new pieces she did " Wow, if I knew it was going to look that good I would have made you get them a long time ago " I always knew she was a keeper   |

I think those are Cobra engine hanger covers along with Kurayken engine covers. I don't think I've seen the hanger covers before . |

I like the Cobra covers, and I don't like "extra" covers. I saw a set of them
once before, they seem pretty rare...
