I want some new chrome - please advise

[barkymarky]

I want 3 new pieces  of chrome for my 95 VF7590.
1. A radiator cap - you know, the cap that screws off the radiator.
2. A new top cap for the brake fluid res. on the handlebars.
3. A cover for the radiator.

Thanks

how much do you want to spend???

Cobra radiator cap looks the best to me.
Cobra also makes the brake cab res. cover, plus a few other companies do too,
you can't beat the De Pretto Motor radiator covers from Italy.

about the brake fluid cover - kuryakyn makes a complete chrome cover for the vtx1300c that looks like it may fit, along with a clutch perch cover. If it fits, i'd go that route, that way it covers up the entire thing.

Well ,I haven't thought too much about the price. I guess I'll just know if it seems reasonable. I know that this after market stuff is overpriced. My Cobra backrest cost $229 but there is not anything else that you can get so you pay it. I'm just looking for sources. Thanks.

Here's what I have on mine. Granted it's not Cobra but it still looks pretty good and the price is right. Keep in mind this is a chrome cover that goes over your radiator cap, it looks good though and fits very snug.

I also have this fluid cover. Really pretty nice for the price.

I don't know anything about this grill, just thought I'd show to you and see what you think.

If you have expensive tastes then I doubt any of this would suit you but I have it on my bike and I think it looks pretty respectable, especially for what I paid for it.

I think I have seen photos of 3G Magnas with the stock plastic radiator cover chrome-plated. To me, it looked better than any of the aftermarket accessories and at least would not impede the airflow through the radiator any more than it already does.

I have wanted the Chrome radiator cap for a long time but have never been able to remove my original one.  Any suggestions?

look at your cap and you will find that there is a set screw that has to be loosened first before you can turn the cap to remove it.
