Default black primary cover

Going to start blacking out the covers on my Crossbones. I want the black primary cover, heads, clutch, etc. Anybody seen it on a Bones? Besides the one on the Harley accessories web page I have not seen it yet. I think it will look killer.

I just blacked out my primary on my Deluxe.&nbsp\\; Do it, you'll love it.&nbsp\\; Word of advise, buy one that is not chrome if you can and powder that one..&nbsp\\; I had 1 chrome one that blistered when it went into the oven.

CNC WHEEL GUY is right about the possibility of chrome blistering in the oven, but there are ways for a powder coater to identify those areas BEFORE the parts are coated.&nbsp\\; I've noticed a huge increase in poor quality chrome lately... even on brand new parts from a variety of vendors.&nbsp\\; Unless your powder coater is experienced with coating over chrome play it safe and take his advise, only take in non-chrome parts if possible.

I talked to the parts guy at my local shop and he said the Night Train primary will fit on the Bones. That is the route I think I am going to go, the wrinkle black. I'll get the Night Train covers and put them on the Bones. I wish&nbsp\\;they came stock in black, but what can you do.
