Looks great!! I could never understand why they produced that bike with chrome exhaust. The blacked out look is the best.

That looks great.
Did you buy new black primary cover or paint the original. I have been wanting to do that.
These bikes should have came with a blacked out motor.

The Swing Arm bag is great. I got the 5" one. It holds more - pair of shoes and a sweatshirt or ball cap. or small parts. tools. Waiting to see how stiff it remains. if it starts to sag a lot, I'm worried that the 3" was the better option. I've had it on for 3 months. no issues yet. plenty of clearance for passenger pegs. Haven't scraped it yet either. I suspect the footboard will hit before the bag hits.
The covers are the HD wrinkle black ones. I always liked the blacked out NT & Street Bob so this was always in the plans. I'm one of the first w/ the new derby cover...hoping not too many follow.

Halo, the bike looks awesome. What fuel management system did you go with and how does it run?

Aftermarket Fuel Management is outlawed here in California. I had the Stealer upgrade the HD program w/ the SE A/C install. Some slight improvement to get up and go. I do get some back pressure with these pipes. I'm looking into a way to get an FMS installed...alledgedly....cause i wouldn't want to break any laws.
