I saw a photo of a chrome reservoir cover with the British flag on an America, I think somewhere here. But now I can't find the pic. I can't find one like it on New Speedmaster.com, or New Bonneville.com so I thought I would see if any of you have seen one and may know where to get them. Thanks, Paw.

mean this..  It is an OEM chromed cover with a sticker you can buy from Fast Eddy where the warning would be. You can do the same with your stock black cover.

I dont see the chrome cover for the America in the catalog...I love that look of the chrome one with the union jack.
Will the standard Bonneville cover fit?

That wasn't my bike I just used the pic as an example. As for your question...no! I'm so poor I can't pay attention!

Thats why I returned 2 of them ,both were scratched right out of the package,and took a year and a half to do that.
I know of someone over here who has the same issue with the chrome cover from Brent. And it didn't last 2 years. They've had other stuff from him and it's lasted, but this didn't.

I have chrome from several different vendors that has flaked. I don't think its a problem particular to any one vendor. I have just decided to skip the chrome from now on and go with black. Or polished. But polished stuff is a lot of work. I think black is the ticket.

I operated a chrome shope in CA for 7 years...it's an art form. But although we were accredited with setting the standard for chrome wheels, we had our bad batches. I don't think Brent has a plating shop in his garage so it's safe to say it was HIS vendor, not him.
