Top triple Tree Cover?

[jeff355]

Does anyone know if theres a cover, or decal or something to dress up the stock upper triple tree clamp/ bar mount? Thats about the ugliest thing on my bike and I need a quick fix. I dont really want to replace the whole thing. Ideas?

Boostbysmith sells plastic replacement plugs for the 4 bolts that hold it down. His are black instead of chrome, 10 pack for $4. It's not much, but I think it made a difference on my black/grey 08. I'm slowly blackin it out, and now those chrome covers don't jump out at ya. Just a thought.

I just ordered the black plastic caps for the Triple Tree from BoostbySmith.. I think jeff is talking about a decal for the TT...

That looks really good..

That does look good ! That's more of what I want.

Check out the ones i posted.. Its more of a sticker instead of a plate..

My busa is missing the hayabusa sticker in the center. I emailed to see if he had them without the cutout and he doesnt. Looks like that other one for 50 bucks might be the ticket.

 

[tmf2004]

thats still not a bad price or that cover.. With black bolt caps it will look good with the carbon fiber..

I am ordering one of these without the 4 holes cut out for the bolts. I think it would look cleaner that way

All I'll say is this: My bike came with a chrome top triple tree cover and the damn thing is a major pain on sunny days, so count your inadvertent blessings

LOL - I can imagine being blinded while doing 100mph would have its downfalls

Hey man - yes I ordered it. Received an email back from the guy on Monday saying the mold the factory uses already has the 4 holes cut out. So, he could refund me or send me one with the holes. I chose the one with the holes and it was shipped yesterday I believe. Might arrive by the end of the week - and if so I will give you my thoughts. I bought some of those black caps from Smith so I am hoping they fit...

Guess I get to guinea pig this one

Well, I got this in and am not impressed at all by the fitment. It doesn't look quite like I had hoped. I have messaged the seller but he has not responded yet... Will keep you posted.

Thanks for the photo. Was the cover worth the $49, in your opinion?

No, it doesn't fit properly. Even if it would have fit correctly, I don't particularly like how it looked anyway. My top triple tree needs something on it - just not sure what...
