Glenn, you've been a cool cat to me on this forum and very helpful. But you did kinda jump on the guy with your first post. Leatherneck jumped right back, so I can dig why you are stating your case.

No big deal. I've done it inadvertently a few times too. Sometimes, I see mods or potential mods on this forum that make me scratch my head. Or freggin cringe. haha.

When this happens, I just try to keep in mind if the rider is actually asking for my opinion on the look. If he's not, I let it go. It's his/her money and his/her bike.

Unless it's something I think is dangerous, or a product I know to be crap, then I chime up.

Anywho, the Panhead covers look cool. I wouldn't personally take that step, but I can dig the look.

 

I have a 21 year old son who is building a evo bobber out of his 87 fxst and saw these and absolutely loves them and his reasoning is he could never afford a knucklhead or afford the short rides on a knuckle before the maintenance needed to keep a knuckle running and nobody has these so he wants them bad. I think I might buy them for him for christmass and it doesn't bother me at all and I have had all of these vintage bikes I actually think it's a great idea to somehow bring back that look.
Get what you want and don't worry about what others think it's your ride.
