Exceptional, hand cast, solid bronze custom derby covers. Designed and crafted by me, in my own shop, right here in Omaha, Nebraska, USA. This is not mass produced, imported junk. This is the real thing: Premium, American quality you will be proud to own and run on your Harley Davidson.
I had a customer ask me about making a U.S. Air Force custom derby cover, but instead of using the current USAF logo, using the old school version. He was around when they went to the current logo, and thinks it looks too corporate. I think he has a point.
I decided to work up a derby cover design based on the original Air Force crest. I like it. If you’re an Air Force guy who’s into the classic USAF logo, I think you’ll like it too.

What's Included
In addition to the derby cover, I include 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.
Derby Cover Sizing
I support six different derby cover sizes, covering all Big Twins and most Sportsters made since 1970. Note that there might be minor design variations between sizes in order to accommodate differences in the derby cover geometry. 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.
Lead Time
All custom derby covers are made to order. Approximate production lead time is 60 days. 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. Understand that these really are made by hand, and sometimes things go wrong on the first try. I will not ship a custom derby cover I am not proud of, so I always re-melt my duds. When that happens, the time frame for shipping gets extended.
Maintenance
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.
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.
