But your engine also has silver piston sleeves......The new Bob has black sleeves.

I was dead set on gettin a Street Bob untill I saw the 09's ugly grey engine casing, same problem with the Super Glides. What can be done about it.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; Paint, Powdercoat, covers or just get a set of pipes that cover it the most.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; Anyone know any realistic options?
Don't let that discourage you from the 09.&nbsp\\; You can get many black covers from harley and the rest can be powdercoated, really not that big of a deal.&nbsp\\;

08 Superglide . Dealer installed forward controls two years ago . Stained the **** out of my primary cover . Tried just about everything to clean . It took rubbing compound with my sears drill to clean it and then pig snout too finish . Looks good and only took 2 years to do it ! No body at dealers seem to know . I was going to powder coat black . My next hog will be krinkle black .

I'm not crazy about the grey, but I live with it.

At some point, I would love to powder coat it though.

The grey blob is rare and the way to go. Too much black is too much.

I'm fond of my gray/black/chrome Bob. It has character.
