Each piece is individually hand cast from solid bronze, by me, in my studio at the Hot Shops Art Center in Omaha, Nebraska.
I can make this design as a derby cover for Harley-Davidson motorcycles, a derby cover for Thunderstroke equipped Indian motorcycles, and an air filter cover for Arlen Ness Big Sucker style intakes.
Production lead time is approximately eight to 12 weeks.
The design of this derby cover is something truly special. As a person of faith, I was inspired to create a design that reflects my beliefs, and I’m proud to say that the end result is something truly unique. The centerpiece of the design is a pair of praying hands, with prayer beads wrapped around them. The detail of the hands is exquisite, and I truly believe that they serve as a powerful reminder of the importance of faith and prayer.
In addition to the hands, the design also features a highly decorative and beautiful Christian cross. The cross is intricately detailed, with decorative vines and leaves surrounding it. The combination of the hands and the cross creates a stunning visual effect, and I’m confident that it will be a conversation starter wherever you take your Harley.
I know that as a Harley owner, you take great pride in the customization of your bike, and I’m honored to have had the opportunity to create something that’s truly unique and reflective of your personal style. I’m confident that this custom derby cover will not only look amazing on your bike, but will also serve as a source of inspiration and faith for years to come.

What's Included
In addition to the derby cover, I include a James brand gasket (for certain sizes, where required), and black oxide coated mounting bolts. Feel free to use your existing mounting bolts if you prefer, but I like the look of the black oxide against the bronze patina.
Lead Time
All custom derby covers are made to order. Approximate production lead time is eight to twelve weeks, but is not guaranteed. If you have a situation (an upcoming ride, an event, etc) that means you need it sooner, please contact me first and I will see what I can do. Please understand that I really do make these by hand in my own shop. Bronze art casting will always have a certain failure rate, and I will not ship a custom derby cover I am not proud of.
Derby Cover Sizing
I support six different derby cover sizes, covering all Big Twins and most Sportsters made since 1970. Complete details on derby cover sizing are located here. If you are unsure of which one you need, give me a call at 402 321 9639. We'll get it worked out.
Maintenance
If you select either gloss of matte 2k clearcoat, your derby cover is maintenance free. Just wash with the same mild soap you use on the rest of your motorcycle, and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use polishing compounds or other abrasives on your clearcoated derby cover.
If you select a natural bronze finish, your derby cover will darken and patina with age. If you want to maintain its original appearance, you will need to polish it regularly (Brasso works well), and apply a coating of paste wax.
