I have flat black powder coated ones for sale right now. Just a thought.

They aren't coated like that the street bob ones don't have covers that's why they are black. For the price you will pay for them it is cheaper to have them powdercoated

Yeah I know the Street Bob one's aren't like that, but yeah I wondered if Wide Glide's would fit, and I know the old FXDX's or even the Police Defender are black, just wondered about compatability.

You may want to so a search for powder coaters in your area. My guess is you could get the stock covers powdered for $80-$100 in your choice of black finish.

Good luck!

I know what you mean about over doing the denim (some might say I've crossed the line already - it's kind of addicting), but you can rattle can gloss black too, just a little trickier to get perfect. I used gloss on my belt guard, highway pegs, my console, and my red rims and people think it's a pro job. to do the struts will take you 45 minutes tops and will tide you over until you get it done "right" if you don't like it. I think you will be surprised. I always intended to get my rims officially powder coated because people said the paint wouldn't last, but 2 years later they still look great and people ask where I got them powdered all the time.

As 07Bobber says, 10+ WG ones are gloss black and a direct fit.

Powdering yours will probably be cheaper though.
