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?

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..

so it was caps for me

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.
