I like it.  Nice contrast to the black bike.

Put me in the "approve" column as well.  Really nice.

Did you paint over the stock black powder coating or remove it? I’d like to polish mine eventually, but I’m talking “Craig Rodsmith polished”

Thank you guys :)
I removed the power coat and used some scotch brit pads and microfiber with stainless steel polish.

I came to this thread fully prepared to hate it.

But I can't. It looks really good on that bike.

I don't want it personally. But it looks great.

Have you considered coating it to stave off corrosion?

sure do like the look of the valve covers on the early V's.   My V iii cover is rather ugly in comparison (IMHO)
Nothing much better than a Tannat from the Salta region.

Thank you :) no coating I think they are easy to access and I like to spend time polishing whatever I can polish I find it very therapeutic :)
