Thanks for the info JRK! Now here is another question: I have seen tons and tons of bikes with the wrinkle black engine covers, but the other day, I saw a pic of a bike with gloss black engine covers... Holy **** do I dig that look! You don't see it very often either. The new Blackline wears it well.

So are there any drawbacks to having gloss black engine covers? Do they show spots? Do they show scratches? Does powder show light scratches near as much as paint?

I know you have them JRK5892, so what do you think about them? What does anyone else think about them? Could anyone post some pics of what they look like? I have really only seen one or 2 pics, but still, I love the look so far.

I emailed you on your website for a quote for pc'ing a electra glide motor and didn't hear anything back, can you give me a quick guesstimate?! I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
