I have the Show Chrome one and have no problems with it. Had it on for about 3.5 years and it still looks great.

I'm not sure which one I have but I'm happy with it. The chrome is still in great shape. It was on the bike when I bought it a little over 2 years ago. You can see it in my signature pic

The Show Chrome piece is on the right, the Yamaha on the left.

They mount different, Yamaha has a screw up front, the fender needs to be drilled, and it can conflict with the fender tips.

The Show Chrome has the bigger base and uses four bolts for mounting in the rear. That lets the front flop a bit and has lead to cracking for some people, and many people that run them without ever having a problem.

I had the show chrome the first 5 years I had the bike. Then it started rusting and I couldn't keep up with cleaning it.

I have both. The Yamaha has better a fit and finish and beefier. they both look great on the fender. I prefer the Yamaha.

If it is broke, fix it. If it is not, make it better!
