Now that I see a few without them, the cheesy little reflectors on my crash and bag bars MUST GO!
I'm kind of surprised that more folks here haven't installed the Kury mid-frame, neck, and downtube chrome covers. Is it because nobody has gotten around to it, or because maybe you saw them on another bike and thought it was "too much"? For some reason that big open space at the neck bothers me, but I think you'd have to go all or nothing with those covers.

I've seen them and talked to a couple of parts guys about them and they all said that they leak.

Where can you get some "pan" rocker covers to fit a tc88?

Sol-
I see what you meant--this is a great thread!
Your two-tone rear fender is very sharp. My front is two tone--rear is solid black. Might have to think about that one....

I bought my '06 SSC because it was totally the vintage look I love.
Right now I have B&B Reproduction bags on it (they did the bags for the 30 Elvis bikes last year) and added the V&H Fishtails. I have the stock seat out being reworked (new (real) leather, and new foam to change the sitting angle- it moved me a little too forward). I am going to add one of the old style horns to the front, and possibly add original old emblems to the tank. I also added the crash bars. I do have some whitewalls, but am not sure if that is the way I want to do with it. Its still got that old school look with new school technology. My 80 year old neighbor- who had the original HD's- says he loves looking at this one. Thats a cool complement to me. I love this bike.
