Has anyone ever had their side cover chrome plated? If yes, what is the cost and where did you get it done?

Also, where would you buy a matching side cover for the America?

Thanks

WOW!!

Quite a bit of info. Thank you!

Air/intake cover? Is this the same as the side cover?

Did you have all this done to your bike? If you did do you have a picture of it on this site?

Thanks again for all the info.

Rick
