Which do you like better? I just picked these up... they need a good cleaning. Actually, I think they are aluminum, so I'll try and polish them. If they are not, then I'll get them re-chromed. Do you like the stock ones or the ribbed ones? :-D

I like the ribbed ones. The screw heads need to be replated or replaced with the dressier chrome ones!
Where did you find those? -
Yeah, new chrome screws are being bought today. I'm going to try and polish the covers tonight. I got them from fatkid89704 from his GS1000 which he is parting out.Originally posted by jimcorLast edited by renobruce; 08-04-2006, 04:02 PM.85 GS1150E May '06 BOM

It's hard to tell without seeing more what the overall look is that you're going for on the bike, but close up like that, I definitely prefer the stock ones.

I like the ribbed ones better. They're different from everyone else's. I like individuality..............

I've been looking at them, and the more I do, the more I like them. They would probably look really good with fresh chrome on them.Originally posted by Joe Nardy85 GS1150E May '06 BOM

I like the ribbed ones, Bruce. They surely are unique. I saw a set on e-bay about a month ago, but didn't pull the trigger on 'em. They were kinda pitted and oxidized. Nice score.Comment

I like the stockers but it's hard to say until seeing the finned ones polished up or chromed.And on the seventh day,after resting from all that he had done,God went for a ride on his GS!
Upon seeing that it was good, he went out again on his ZX14! But just a little bit faster!
