Yea FXDF MYK....... they even have one with the Old No 7 logo you can get.
Secret Agent.....you're right. They custom make the housing, then round it out for a Harley timing cover to be inserted. That way, it keeps the overall look "true" to the others pieces in your collection. This isn't a rinky dink cover either. I bought a cover for my Dyna with the "script" HD writing on it from an Ebay Vendor. Paid around $70.......but it's got a paper thin metal housing and no way chromed like this Willie G Skull cover is. It's like night and day.
Anyway, you only live once and at our ages ( I'm 58 and hubby is 68) these will be the last bikes we'll ever own, so we're splurging. Actually I'm getting a set of the V&H Big Radius pipes with a PCIII, a new 5 3/4" headlamp plus a set of fog lamps all with PIAA bulbs in them, chrome rear sprocket, sundowner seat and removable sissy bar. And If I'm a really good girl, maybe a chrome swing arm. Just depends on how good a mood Santa's in.

From a statement on their website. This is why they ain't cheap:
All products are CNC machined from solid 6061 - T6 aluminum and showroom chromed
Oh yeah, American made too. You want made in America, and not some cheap offshore junk? Your gonna have to pay for it.
Billet aluminum plus American labor ain't cheap.

I can tell you the mechanic who installed it for us was very impressed with workmanship, weight and size of the horn cover. You wont see many of these on other bikes.......that's for sure. One doesnt go out and spend a bunch of money on your "pride and joy" only to start going cheap on accessories. At least, that's our opinion. Thanks for pointing out the Quality aspect of the cover RollaMo.....
