Default Grey Engine Casing

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?

You could try to paint or powdercoat it, but I would susgest to buy an 07 or 08 that didn't have the GREY casting.

You may need to start considering the Low Rider.&nbsp\\; I just can't imagine going to the trouble or expense to pull down the&nbsp\\;motor to powder coat it.&nbsp\\; And I can't imagine paint looking worth a damn for very long.
&nbsp\\;
If all else fails, you could acquire good taste and start liking the grey motor.

The black/chrome engine isn't an option?

Whether you cover it in chrome, buy a FXDL, go for the industrial look, or whatever will be your decision.&nbsp\\; Regardless you will be welcome at HOG events, nobody will mistake your ride for a rice grinder, and nobody will care.&nbsp\\; If you can't live with gray cases spend whatever is necessary to change them to a different color.&nbsp\\; Have you considered&nbsp\\;yellow powder coating?&nbsp\\; Now that would be a high performance look.&nbsp\\;Yellow and black. Yeah.&nbsp\\; I've always liked Petty blue too.&nbsp\\; Petty blue motor with cream tins&nbsp\\;with Petty blue&nbsp\\;accents would have a nice old school look.&nbsp\\; Or maybe........... well, it's your bike, do what you want and can afford.

Its way to hard to change it. Just buy a bike with a black engine.
