Default Black Strut Covers?
I have an 07 Street Bob and hate the brushed metal strut covers. Does anyone know what models have gloss black strut covers that would fit the Street Bob? I know rattle can or powdercoat are an option but I want to see whats out there. This below picture is what I'm looking for.

Yeah I know, I like the smoother looking lines of the covers, just wondering if I could pick up an old used set for cheap, otherwise i might just rattle can some gloss on my current ones or end up taking them off.

Rattle can works great. You don't even have to take them the bike. Scuff them with scotch brite and tape off the rest of the bike well, good to go. Light coats.

yeah, a quick search didn't yield any results on google. If you are going gloss, I'm sure a powder coater won't charge much, they usually do gloss all the time and can just throw yours in with all the other stuff. A lot of people have just removed them on here, I'm sure you could get a set for a decent price from a forum member.

I live that bike, the wet glossy black is so awesome. The factory Denim Black tins look good on a Bob, but I think a lot of people over do it with the rattle can stuff. 07Bobber's bike looks good, he gloss powder coated all the flat black stuff, awesome look.

I don't think any of them are black from the factory, either brushed or chrome.
