I just did a google search for chrome shock covers and a whole bunch of them came up, you will need to have the dimensions of the Monroe shock to find some that fit. These are a Corvette shocks(if i'm not mistaken), so I imagine that there has to be a set out there that will fit. I am interested in the air ride set as well on a wide glide, so I'd be interested in what you find.

I did this mod to a 09 dyna. Put the compressor and solenoid under the seat. Gauge and switch mounted to the fuse cover so that you could see it while riding. Only real problem I had was when completely slammed the rear brake line coming from the caliper was stretched alittle. A one and a half to two inch longer one would have fixed that. Also I used a 98c compressor and had to take the stem that holds the fitting off for it to fit under the seat. For some reason with this taken off it would produce a leak that no matter how much Teflon tape i put on it would leak so I took the whole system off. I will post some pics when I get to a computer

Spray on chrome, find someone close by who does it by contacting the company. They will look good and last...
