Just painted the outer primary
Instead of getting the parts powder coated, I went and bought the texture black paint from HD. I ll be damned it looks just like the black ones on the street bob. I talked to the dealer and they said the all there outer covers are painted the same way. I baked it in the oven and it looks brand new. Yipppe no more big clonk of gray sticking out anymore.

RE: Just painted the outer primary
I'd like to see a picture if you can manage it. I'm slowly going to black on all the parts that are needing freshning up, and after 18 years there are a few. I've been thinking of paint as well, instead of sandblasting and powder coat.

RE: Just painted the outer primary
Ok here are some pics of the parts that I painted. The outer primary, the timing cover, and the tranny cover. I also added a lay back plate bracket.
I have the Maltese cross AC cover coming in the mail. as Well as the black progressive 412 11" shocks. I will post more pics when i put those on.
Let me know if you guys like the black covers better than my grey.
Heres the before
Heres the after
