    IMO the glare off of them would be blinding at times. I had a chrome dash cover an removed it on my other trike. Told myself never again chrome in the drivers area.

    As much as I like the shiny stuff: the reflections off of them will make it impossible for you to see your display at times...

    Scott, I just put them on my 2013 RTL SE5 last month and WOW, what a huge difference in how the bike looks now overall. Personally, it's one of my absolute favorite farkles that I have put on my since I bought her!

    It does NOT distract from driving because of any reflection at all. I live in the Desert of SoCal (Palm Springs) where the sun shines here 360 days/yr. If anyone would notice reflections bouncing off the chrome & distracting me, I would.

    It is quite amazing looking. My wife loves it as well & says it makes the look richer looking than the flat black plastic OEM cover. Enhances the whole bike!!
    Go for it, you won't regret it!

    just the aluminum key holder for the Spyder key at the right time of the day reflects off the dash and can be annoying at times.

    Good luck on your decision

    Can Lamonster 's Spyder RT cuff be used on this chrome cover? Will it clamp over the cover?
