Default 2006 Superglide gray engine and primary

I have an 06 superglide wich I like with the exception of the gray engine and primary. Anybody ever try painting them black with a high temp paint? If so how did it come out? And please don't repsond with You should've bought a street bob. Not trying to sound like a jerk, but I wanted the superglde so thats what i bought.

Do you mean just the covers or the whole engine?

I picked up a chrome one off e-bay for 60.00. You could probally find a black one reasonable. Or I could sell you mine and then you could have it done then change them out without any down time.

Mine is a 2007

Chrome looks good with the silver motor. I like the silver but the primary side was just to much. I added the Chrome Primary cover and it looks much better but also going to add the Chrome Headbolt bridges and Cylinder base cover to finish it up.



Chrome added to other side as well

I think JayFromPa has black covers on a SG. I think I'd go ahead and get them powder coated if I were going to the trouble of taking off the covers (or watch e-bay for some take-offs like Smiley mentioned).
