I also love the look of your bike, but i think if you were to coat your rocker boxes, oil tank, cam cover, derby cover, and chain inspection cover to white it would be one more thing to get people drooling

Tony, I concur. Unless you're going to totally black your bike out like a night train, (forks, bars/risers, struts, rims, and COMPLETE motor) I'd leave it.

Your bike looks sick as it is; if you are going to do the while thing however, I'd do the primary and all the covers in wrinkle black and everything else is a semi-gloss. Gloss black shows scratches way too easily. When I re-do my train I'll be doing all the gloss parts in a semi-gloss.
