Opinions, please on cam covers

[Guest]

Which do you like better? I just picked these up... they need a good cleaning. Actually, I think they are aluminum, so I'll try and polish them. If they are not, then I'll get them re-chromed. Do you like the stock ones or the ribbed ones? :-D

I like the ribbed ones. The screw heads need to be replated or replaced with the dressier chrome ones!

Where did you find those?

Yeah, new chrome screws are being bought today. I'm going to try and polish the covers tonight. I got them from fatkid89704 from his GS1000 which he is parting out.

Tough to tell with all the other chrome blinding me:-s \\/ :-D
Have to see how nice they come out.
Hard to give an honest opinion yet.:-D
Parts are parts though.
You can never have too many

It's hard to tell without seeing more what the overall look is that you're going for on the bike, but close up like that, I definitely prefer the stock ones.

I like the stock ones, but the ribbed ones are for "her" pleasure.

always carry extra one's with you in case she does'nt like the ribbed ones

The original covers are much nicer. Ted

I think I like the stock ones better too, they give a little contrast.

I like the ribbed ones better. They're different from everyone else's. I like individuality..............

I've been looking at them, and the more I do, the more I like them. They would probably look really good with fresh chrome on them.

I like the ribbed ones, Bruce. They surely are unique. I saw a set on e-bay about a month ago, but didn't pull the trigger on 'em. They were kinda pitted and oxidized. Nice score.

I have two new sets now. There is a seller on eBay that keeps putting the up every now and then. Haven't had a chance to put them on yet but now I can see what they will look like. Very nice

I like the stockers but it's hard to say until seeing the finned ones polished up or chromed.

Just in case anyone's interested, www.oldkawman.com, click on GS parts. He has a set of brand new chrome ribbed cam covers for $39.

Just checked...didn't see 'em. I sent an e-mail. They one's I saw on e-bay were not new. A brand new set would be hard to resist!

Email this eBay seller. I bought two sets from him now and he may be able to get more or notify you when he does.

Your bike obviously isn't stock, so I vote for the ribbed ones.
If it was a box stocker it would be blasphemy to put those on, but in this case I think the ribbed ones add to the overall look.

 

[fatkid89704]

i think the ribbed ones should go on the new beast.they will help it cut through the air better.just my .02 cents worth.
