Ya think that's hard to find? Try finding front and rear heat shields for a 1977 XLH 1000 . . . in stock and ready to ship.

If you can't find them, it might be a good thing. I always thought those covers, or entire Chrome swing arms broke up the flow of the frame

I have to agree with this. Those covers take away from the frame looking like a ridge, which is the whole idea behind the softail frame.
Plus those and all the other covers are kinda of cheesy looking and made. If you do anything just have the entire swingarm chromed.
