Lone Eagle Posted March 15, 2008 Share #5 Posted March 15, 2008 I have that chrome cover, wish the main part - or whole unit - was chromed versus just the cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1BigDog Posted March 15, 2008 Share #8 Posted March 15, 2008 Great link thanks, any idea what they charge? Last price quoted me from them was about 2003 and they were charging about 350.00 (for the airboxes only) then with an 8 week turnaround time. They had done a venturers members 99 RSV airboxes, his kick panels inside the fairing and some other pieces. I saw the bike in Daytona..it looked real nice too.
