    De-badging valve covers?

    My Google-Foo is not strong at the moment; and a couple of searches in this message board yielded no favorable results.

    Is there anything being currently marketed; or has anyone come up with an idea to de-badge the "Honda" emblem on both valve covers ?

    de-badging the valve cover trims

    I removed my valve cover trims, sanded them a bit to scuff the finish.
    Then I used a body filler to fill in the Honda lettering, sanded it smooth (took me two coats!!)
    Sprayed them with a few coats of primer.
    Then sprayed on a coat of black textured bed liner.
    It's a nice contrast with the smooth flat black heads.

    Thinking of possibly doing that... not many options avail....

    Not sure if that peg position is right for me though... hoping that I will see examples of that installed down in Franklin, NC next week...

    The more detail... the better. Am surprised that vendors have not come up with another option...

    You guys should come up with a 'chrome pride' flag and protest. Chrome Bikes Matter!

    Remember that there are three different settings for the Rivco pegs, so they are fairly adjustable. I like 'em.
