Kuryakyn Boomerang Frame Cover Kit For Harley-Davidson Softail (2008–2017)
Seamless Chrome Transition & Custom Frame Enhancement for Twin Cam Softails
Conceal raw factory frame welds and transform the mid-section of your Twin Cam Softail with the Kuryakyn Boomerang Frame Cover Kit. Specially contoured for 2008 through 2017 Harley-Davidson Softail models, these high-luster chrome covers follow the natural curved lines of the Softail swingarm pivot area, creating a smooth, continuous custom appearance from the transmission case back to the rear axle.
Precision-molded from durable, lightweight ABS composite and finished in Kuryakyn’s show-quality chrome, the Boomerang kit covers dark painted steel tubes and exposed hardware. This simple bolt-on accent kit visually lowers the bike’s stance and adds an elegant, fully detailed custom look without interfering with swingarm motion or footpeg/floorboard operation.

Design Highlights & Custom Aesthetics
### Concealing Unfinished Frame Welds
Stock Harley-Davidson Softail frames feature rugged, dark-painted steel tube sections and visible swingarm pivot bolts around the footpegs and oil tank. The Kuryakyn Boomerang Kit acts as an architectural sleeve, draping over raw factory welds and hardware to give your motorcycle a sculpted, polished custom-frame appearance.
### Lightweight Chrome Composite Construction
Molded from premium-grade ABS plastic, these covers offer extreme flexibility and impact resistance. Unlike heavy steel trim parts that can rattle loose or add unnecessary weight, Kuryakyn chrome ABS pieces fit snugly against frame contours without vibration, maintaining their brilliant shine through miles of open-highway riding.

Frequently Asked Questions
### Will these covers fit if I have passenger footpegs installed?
Yes. The Boomerang frame cover kit is designed to accommodate standard Harley-Davidson passenger footpeg mounts. However, if your Softail is equipped with full passenger floorboard brackets, alternative mounting hardware or spacers may be required.
### Will the chrome finish peel or tarnish from engine heat?
No. Kuryakyn uses multi-layer copper-nickel-chrome plating specifically engineered for high-heat automotive and motorcycle applications. Proper cleaning with non-abrasive chrome polish will maintain a mirror finish for years.
