Anyone else out there who would rather have metal spark plug covers vs the cheap plastic ones that are on the latest V7 lineup. I am slowly getting rid of nearly all of the plastic that is on my bike. To me, plastic is cheap in looks, feel, and overall aesthetic.
I haven't found any aftermarket ones so I am assuming they are not out there, but they would be a nice touch because I do like the clean look they give the heads. Small piece to be concerned about but if you're like me then every piece counts, and these, along with the cheap chromed plastic throttle body covers and plastic side panels on my V7 Stone, are going. Fenders are going too, replaced with aluminum.
I would happily pay more for quality metal parts, and I think I'm not alone on this, so why would they not do it right from the start: metal side panels (stock on the V7R only), metal front and rear fenders, headlight bucket, etc. The more plastic, the less soul and character, especially for a retro, classic styled bike.
I couldn't imagine owning a v7 with a plastic tank!
