Something to consider- It's nearly impossible to shoot rattle can gloss black on anything and have it come out professional nice. flaws and un-even-ness of gloss will be present. only thing that shoots good gloss out of a can is lacquer, and that won't hold up to the heat.
For DIY on pipes / heat shields, stick with satin or flat from a rattle can, if you want good gloss you pretty much need to go with the powdercoat.
I'm only mentioning this since your bike is really nice and I don't think you'll be happy with the rattle can outcome.
You're right about the powdercoat vs spray can job when it comes to gloss black. I'm going to check into powdercoating them. I've got to quit coming on here so much because I see really good looking mods I'd like to do on my bike and end up costing me more money. Ha!
Looks good man, I almost got one of those fenders when I did the 200mm on my Slim. I chopped a Fatboy fender instead and the one thing I don't like is the flat cross section.
