Plastic steering cover.....removed.

Removed the plastic steering cover...like it better. The 3 pieces were not going together...did not look good.
Thinking of mounting something on the bracket or maybe put a nice flag or emblem on it.....

Ah yes, a fellow intellectual. My handle bar cover was fully functional and fitted... I still hated it.
I haven't done anything with my four bolt holes yet. If you think of something good, do let me know

10-4.

Finally did away with mine also. It gives me another spot to mount accessories.

Agreed. I like the more industrial look. Mine's been gone since I installed risers.

Tossed it the day I bought the bike. Hated the look.

Mine came with original Helibars and no cover, so I don't miss it. Plus, my TPMS display is there and I added risers.

My first year ST's cover bothered me from day one. Tacky in the extreme. IMO the worst genetic legacy from the Pacific Coast that preceded it.

I lived like you for a season or two then went and painted the triple clamp and bar mounts black, and then finished it with a pair of fork caps from a 750 Nighthawk, 51449-MS2-003.



Looks better than factory IMO.



After my fork sliders got too chipped and pitted for my liking, I used VHT Roll Bar & Chassis paint with great results on the forks and triple clamp.

Fork caps...good idea.

And for the Yoke nut you can put a Chrome Nut cap for a Cruiser to cover the hole.
