I had everything powder coated gloss black at Sumax as they're local to me. I also accented it with polished 12 point SS hardware on the drivetrain.

 

It started out as a typical all black Street Bob engine, I picked up used chrome clutch, cam, and primary covers, as well as used chrome lower rocker boxes. I had the upper rocker box covers powdercoated wrinkle black. Like others have said, I like the black and chrome contrast.

 

Interesting use of the "every other cylinder/head fins"...don't see that much. Were you trying to somewhat match the theme (not the coloring)
on the Timer cover?

 

Steves Precision Fabrication, good stuff.

Thanks, no, just doing something different. I like the look of the highlighted fins, but find it to be too busy with all of them.

 

And I know of no others, which is a big plus

 

Yeah, something different

 

The Alloy Boltz grade 8 engine kit is a nice set of ARP fasteners for all the covers that avoids any confusion with the recommended reduced torque values of the cheaper kit suppliers. This is the way I plan to go. More homework needs to be done.

Been thinking on this more

Black with machined fins is my pick

But brushed on black is pretty sweet too.
