I did mine to match the front and rear fenders I am putting on, which is more of a flat black. I like the contrasts.

Cowbell is not part of the engine and comes installed as chrome like on most of the other bikes. Silly oversight by H-D's part considering the other styling they put into the Bob.

Just did mine in gloss black, matches my paint very well and I'm glad I didn't copy the wrinkle that the MoCo sells.

Just did mine gloss black with the battery and eletrical covers plus belt guard.
The gloss matchs the tank & fenders and ties the look of the bike all together.

I vote for wrinkle black, but I think either will look good. Just go with want "YOU" want on the bike. Shouldn't really matter what other people think imho.

Niether.....I prefer satin finish, a custom blend from my powder coater. 20% flat-80% gloss.

Works for me.

Best wishes...Tim(HT)
