The Rick's Softail 'Cover-Up' Job
If you search for 'covers' on the Rick's Motorcycles website, you will already get anywhere between 60 and 80 hits. So why, might you think, do they need to add more? You would already see best-selling options such as its 'Porthole' primary drive covers and a sophisticated Sportster and Sportster S open rotating belt pulley.
Well, Rick's has continued to add new cover options not only because its advanced, precision- manufacturing capabilities allow it to do so, but, quite simply, because its dealers asked them to - "more designs and more applications please."
Continuing the success of its state-of-the-art cover lines for the Sportster S and Nightster, Rick's covers are now available for 2018-up Milwaukee-Eight powered Softail models.
Seen here are the first new Fat Bob applications - and a new Rick's Fat Bob custom to showcase them, sporting its new 'Smooth' and 'Premium' design covers, with more covers for other M-8 Softails also already available.

The fact that they appear to almost disappear in the black-on-black look of this Rick's special is testament to how well these new Softail covers complement the bike's design, adding significantly to the "clean-up cool" that is Rick's customs' hallmark.

| 'Premium' |
Featuring its custom rear wheel axle, swingarm axle, shock absorber bolt on the right side and front wheel axle - for this product photo shoot, both of the new cover variants, the 'Smooth' and the 'Premium', have been mounted to give a compare and contrast presentation for those who want to upgrade their M-8 Softails. They are available as model-specific full kits or as singles/pairs for select positions.
