Default A little darker
Got some stuff back from powder coating. Due to a small snafu the AC cover came out a little different then I had planed. Had to put out a few more bucks to get the look I was going for, but I'm diggin it.





A couple more so you get the overall look. A few more things here and there and I'll be happy.

Thanks. I got a used AC cover off here and sent it to get powdered wrinkle black. That face plate is only available in chrome...but I think it's a nice contrast. I really didn't want #1s all over the bike but it looks ok.

Bike looks good!! That's def the best stock AC I've seen. Kind of hard to make them look good, but I think you got it.

No worries Joe. Sean called me and it was cool. I didn't know they had that center piece till earlier this week so it solved my problem. They other way would have been cheaper but I agree with you, the set up I've got now looks cleaner and better.

Thanks. I like the tear drop AC cover, just not in all chrome. I've seen a few that were powdered all black and it was a bit much too. I think this is a perfect blend. Plus I think the #1 skull is the sweetest HD logo they have.

Had my ac cover come stock wrinkle black like that I may have kept it, I think it looks great. Wouldn't help with my knee hitting it though.
