But I would DEFINITELY recommend getting the ones with the fuel guage... nothing more embarassing that coasting through town on a silent bike because you ran out of gas about a half mile back... I got asked when I finally rolled up to the pump if my bike was electric to which I replied "yes, I just pulled up to the gas pump to smell the fumes."
That's exactly the look I'm going for. Thanks for the advice, Cap!

Ahhhhhhh! I have seriously been looking all over the place to see about gloss black engine covers on this type of bike! I have had a miniature battle raging back in forth in my mind of whether or not to do the gloss black covers. The only real thing holding me back was that damn denim black oil tank (I would take it off and get it PCd to gloss black, but there is a lot more tear down that is included with that job and man is that a major PITA) but now I see that it goes well with the denim black on exhaust pipes. Yes, I know, I sound like a big girl talking about colors and ****, but I am really particular with how things should contrast and balance each other out and how everything "flows."

But back to your bike; I dig it! Seriously sinister. Yes, it is hella black, but there are different shades! The balance between the denim and gloss is spot on.

I just sent all my covers, console and lowers out to Joe for some gloss black treatment!

I can't wait to get them back and re-install. I had some done here locally but they turned out like crap but the colors looked sweet on the bike for a day.....

Congrats, man! Your bike is sick... This is something I always wanted to do on mine, but unfortunately I cannot have access to the parts here in Brazil. But one day, La Gorda (my Lo) will be like yours!!
Congratulations!!!
