Has anyone had a Custom Derby cover Made ?
If so how do you like it, has it held up ?
I have looked at all sorts of sites w/Derby Covers
I have seen 2 that are possible, but nothing really jumps out that I really like
Bike is Midnight blue, a lot darker than the blue skull (entire cover is blue)

No idea what I would do as a Custom Cover
Maybe the devil - Hot Stuff - my nickname for a while was Daredevil


2nd one


3rd one

The number 44 is revered in Syracuse athletics.
In football it was worn by Jim Brown, Ernie Davis, Floyd Little, ect.

Mountain Machine in CO made it outta billet aluminum.

I added the color this year.

Big scratch from a mechanic. Maybe this winter I’ll polish it up.

custom derby covers that aren't engraved/ etched/ embossed etc are pretty corny and lame IMO. with the hydro dipped, and painted ones you might as well just slap some my little pony stickers on a piece of sheet aluminum, drill some screw holes and slap it on your bike.

The guys that used to work for me gave me this:


This was my late father's tattoo.

I don't know who did it.

not sure if 'ask me next year' was meant to be an option for me to tell you to 'bug off,' but seriously, i'm thinking about replacing my cover with the114 on it, it's fake news now....so ask me next year

I haven't but I got to thinking about it when I saw someone here had a POW MIA one. I've also seen others with the typical Soldier's memorial of the rifle bayonet in the ground with helmet over the stock and dog tags/boots and it made me think of my good friend I lost in Iraq 19 years ago last month. Check out Etsy for some really cool pre-made covers and of course custom is always an option too.
