Default 2018 Breakout Blacked Out Motor

I have a 2018 Breakout and I'm wanting to black out the motor. Does anyone know of non-HD parts to get the job done? Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places but I cannot find much out there outside of the HD website. I know I need a cam cover, primary cover, upper and lower rocker covers. What else do I need? I already have black V&H pipes and a black Screamin' Eagle air breather. I appreciate the help.

You might be better off just powder coating everything. Did you check out J&P cycles, Dennis Kirk ? Their large after market motorcycle part companies.

I'm no expert but pretty sure you will also need the trans side and top cover. I found someone who didn't like the black and I swapped my chrome for their black!

i was going to go down this route when i got my BO, but decided to keep everything on the motor chrome, and instead black out the rest of the bike. Your best bet is to find someone with a new heritige that wants chrome and not black, and swap them part for part. That or powdercoat all the pieces.
