Was that very costly and how long did it take you to get the parts back. I've been "haten" all that shiny stuff too. Thanks

Ole coyote, the powder coating cost me a total of 145 bucks for the 4 parts, which which I think is dirt cheap when you consider that the damn primary gasket is 33 bucks by itself, almost told the stealer atleast put a gun to my head when they charge me that much(LOL). The cam cover gasket and the new derby gasket where 5 bucks a piece, and the new o-ring for the primary drain plug was a buck. By the way you will have to jack up the bike ,because you have to take off the jiffy stand mount to get the front screw all the way out of the primary. As far as the cam cover, take off the upper heat shields of the pipes to get at one of the allen screws easier. I did not do the transmission cover yet to see how the bike looks to me so far, with the tranny and the rocker covers aluimnimum.

It'll look good! I powder coated just about everything on my BB but left a little chrome for contrast.
