howdy,

I want to order some caliper covers chrome and not sure which ones to get..

if you have added these to your bike, I would love to see some pics to see how they look

the only pic I have is the one below and its hard to see how it would look.










the other alternative are the caliper caps:





I'm thinking of the covers because I am going to get chrome lower forks. but will it be too much ...

photos will be great if you have done either...

caps or covers?

Hi

If you have a browse through the earlier post re: Chromed Forks ..... My bike has the caliper stick-on caps and 'Thumperama' has the full covers.

To each his own..

 
Colin Chapman once said: "If you add horsepower you'll be quick on the straight,...but if you remove weight you'll be quicker everywhere.." ....so why in hell did I buy a Thunderbird...!!!

i went for the small caps because they looked lighter than the full covers when i had the 1600,
the storm though has triumph already highlighted on the calipers.

so it was caps for me

I went back and forth on which ones to get and went with the full covers since I had the chrome lowers. I also added the chrome cap for the rear caliper even though you can hardly see it. I also liked that they bolt on instead of using double sided tape.

 
I don't know how or when I'll die, just that someone will be holding my beer for me when I do.
