I have wrinkle black on mine.
09 Street Baob. It came with the completely blacked out jugs, but ugly *** gray motor. I painted the motor with heat black and bought the HD wrinkle black rocker box covers as well as the primary and trans covers.
I love the look.

Actually one of my favorite looks for the motors are a silver motor with gloss black upper and lower rockers, cam, trans, and outer primary covers. I think the contrast of gloss black and silver looks great especially if the bike has some other contrast cut parts on it.

I actually don't dislike the silver motor. How's that for a glowing endorsment?...lol. I believe for it to look good you need some black complimentary parts though. IMHO...
