Finally changed the derby cover: Mooneyes
Seems like it's one of the first things that typically get replaced, but I never got around to it.
Noticed on the Mooneyes site that they finally make one for the current bikes so I had to get one
Painted it:

Matches the points cover on the other side:

VERY nice !!!
Like some of the others, I also remember all the great Moon equipment. I wish I still had 1/2 the pictures of the dark red '51 Shoebox Ford that I hot rodded and customized ... I could go on for hours on that bad boy, so I won't even get started ...
I'm gonna have to check these out - I had no idea that Moon made parts for our Harleys -- thanks so much for letting us know !!
I really like the paint you added to it - really sets it off. Kinda hard to tell from the camera flash, but did you use a gloss black or a satin-finish black ??

Tell us about how you painted. Did you mask off or just spray the whole thing and wipe off the paint. Looks great.
Thanks

Thanks for the comments, guys.
I used a semi-gloss black, 500-degree engine paint. I masked the top and bottom sections, and then painted and wiped the fins, MOON, and edges.
A word of warning: I had to enlarge the holes a little to allow the torx bolts to fit -- the holes are just a little off. Same with the points cover. No big deal, and the overall quality and fit are really nice.
