Cosmetics aren't just used to spruce up a bit. Sometimes cosmetics are used to hide that big scar so no one knows you're really a superhero by night... or just clumsy. Chrome covers work the same way; they can add a little more shine or cover the effects of wear, tear, and time.
Cobra's driveshaft cover hides the manufacture's neglect of this particular part of the machine, which is often on the drab side. Cobra, as is expected, saw a surface that could have been more than it was and made it shine. This is also a boon if you have scratched or otherwise neglected this stretch of metal.
Constructed of steel and covered in chrome, the Cobra driveshaft cover is polished to a frictionless fluid sheen before it finds its way to your door. This bit of beauty is made in these United States and you can probably find one to fit your machine even if it was made on the other side of the world. Installation only takes a few minutes, but you'll probably want to give yourself more time for that back-step and subsequent admiration.
For around $50, you will improve the overall look of your bike, if chrome is your goal. If you don't really have much other chrome, it'll stand out awkwardly. The Cobra cover is one of those pieces that I can talk up to the heavens, because it's entirely fluff. There's no real need to buy it, but you very well might want to anyway.
