I think you should hit up Hogrida(he posted on this thread earlier) for one of his laydown plates. Will go a long way on that rear fender. Nice inexpensive mod.
also add some black like you are doing then go from there.

Looks good bro, I have the same denim dark blue on my St Bob. I had the battery band and derby cover powered the same black as the frame. I also removed the rear signals and strut covers. I'm taking the horn cover/bracket and A/C cover in later this week for powder. I'll post up some pics later this evening so you can take a look.

Nice ride by the way!!!
man leave some chrome... when i first blacked out my bike it stood out like crazy... now i roll up to the bars/dealers and EVERYONE and their brother has an all black bike... i will not make another all black bike, too cookie cutter now, CHROME will never go out style, do not just have to do black bud, check with you powder coater man i know in my shop alone i have 16 diff style blacks.... but there are SO MANY cool colors out there... if you bike is an off color (not seen everywhere) why go black... it is dark on your tins... hit it with a cream or off white... Rustoleum appliance epoxy has a KILLER looking off white! it is your bike though man do what you want of course... personally i like my **** to stand out in a crowd... got some big plans for the HD after the wedding is over!

Hmmmmm, that's strange. I was just at the local dealer and they looked it up there off that number. the part # is for a small oval piece of metal that fills the hole left in the strut cover after you take off the signals. Thanks for the props on the bike, it's a work in progress. I understand what JRK is saying about getting carried away with the black out. Everyone in my town that has a St Bob has a denim black one, all blacked out, usually with red powdercoated rims. The endgame for me will be the denim blue tins, what you see in black now along with the AC cover and horn cover, I'm leaving the rims chrome and getting the spokes powdered red. That's just me though and that's just what I have in mind for now, I'm sure it will change a half dozen times before I get there.
