yah ,eharlyparts.com is where i found the belt guard decal sticker, but 200 $ is a little steep ! i found a seller on eBay who engraves point covers but would not replicate an FXDG point cover for me because of copy right laws, may be you could give me your contact for the point cover? thats the first real close up of the original point cover that I've seen, thanks for sharing...by the photos i see that you have the H-D electronic ignition i converted mein back to points to points to avoid the cost of replacing the ignition black box, when i powder coated my frame i removed the mounting plate, looks a lot cleaner, was able to replace the carb with a non vacuum one to get rid of the V.O.E.S. switch for the vacuum advance

I think mr.lexus had a more accurate points cover made by the same guy that did mine. Maybe he will share a picture if he sees this.

I'd sell the engraved one I had made. I took it off after making an awesome reproduction.

Don't forget to polish up those fin tips! Some spots on certain fins weren't polished, so pay attention to detail.

That cover looks great! Did you make that yourself? You got some talent.

No, that’s the engraved one I would sell. I made this one. I’m fussy, so I needed the exact contouring on it. I used an actual stock points cover.
