Front wheel bling

One of the details that has always defined a wing for me is the the part that is called, in the GL1500s, the "wheel cover. It's the chrome dust cover over the front disk.. It just, for some reason, appeals to me and gives the bike a "finished" look.

I just got a 1986 Aspencade. Were these "wheel covers" or whatever available for the GL1200?

Thanks!

Alex

There were similar disk covers but not plastic

Thanks guys! That's what I was looking for.

Has anyone tried fitting the GL1500 covers on the GL1200?

Personally I wouldnt bother, too much of a PITA getting the wheel off. Been there done that.

It has been done, 1500 covers on a 1200. There should be a thread on here about it. Personally I don't like the look. I put a ring of on 1200 covers & like the way they look.

Cool. I know what to look for now, and I'll try searching again.

As far as the looks, I understand. Everyone has their preferences. I have always liked the look of the 1500 covers, and I'd like to get a set on my 1200. Again, personal choice...

Thanks for the info and advice, guys!
