Condor Posted February 25, 2011 Share #1 Posted February 25, 2011 Picked up a set of covers off Ebay that weren't in the greatest shape. Had the chrome stripped off and professionally polished for $50 bucks, so I'm in them right around $150 total. Lot better price that buying a new set. Whacha think?

Snaggletooth Posted February 25, 2011 Share #3 Posted February 25, 2011 Looks pretty good Jack. I'm not real familiar with the 2nd gens but that's about a 1/3rd of new cost isn't it? Nutting wrong with that. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nutting wrong with that. Mike I didn't find them listed on the Y site, but I think the MSRP retail was $459. So, yeah about a third of new. But.... probably half that of a discounter. I don't know why they chromed them in the first place. Polished aluminum looks just as good and is easier to maintain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 26, 2011 Share #9 Posted February 26, 2011 And lets not forget the extra hundred bucks for the required K&N air filters as well. Those polished ones look good..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I lucked out and picked up a new set of K&N's off Ebay for $50 bucks. Haven't seen anything that low since.... Most run arond $90, and with shipping will cost a 'C' note....

Seaking Posted February 26, 2011 Share #11 Posted February 26, 2011 "Required" K&N filters with the chrome covers? how so? I'm guessing the filters are then now exposed or is it just 'the thing' to do? Looks great!! Polished looks better than chromed.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steamer Posted February 26, 2011 Share #13 Posted February 26, 2011 I'm running stock filters in mine right now.But I did pick up a new to me set of chrome covers with K&N's from Pinwall for around $215.00.The old covers were peeling,so they might be available this summer.Have to wait for warm weather and NO SNOW so i can get outside and work on the bike.
