I powder coated my push rods... what if you where to just pull off the end casings like the tranny covers and what not, they just un bolt... from there get an etcher, prime and heat paint... woudl give it a cool look!

The reason I bought the Superglide is because the motor is silver. I'm glad they offered it. It would be great if they offered&nbsp\\;a choice. But thats how Harley and the aftermarket make money, by selling you accessories to change the look.
