Although I like the look of all these nice covers you will have quite a lot if dirt accumulating underneath and behind these covers (e.g. cylinder base cover). This may cause early surface corrosion of the covered areas especially in regions with a rather corrosive climate...

BTW: I think the Black and Silver CVO ('13) came with a chromed swing arm...or was it just PC

Yep, that's the only reason why I haven't mounted the left base cylinder cover yet ,still have to decide about it. Regarding the inner primary cover (p.n. 60815-08A) no problem since it'll totally replace the stock black powdered one.
Black'n'chrome 2013 CVO doesn't have chrome swingarm either, it's a light painted grey but no chrome. When I saw it the first time I was also convinced it was chromed but after seeing some other pics I realized it wasn't.

No need. The stock stand is short enough.
BTW, where in SoCal are you?

Got this notion I'd like to mount a second headlight so I'd have a 4 1/2 incher above and behind a 5 3/4 incher. It seems the Breakout Alternator should have sufficient **** for this. Anyone else tried/trying something like this ?

That would definitely be original.

Sounds good, when I'm up and running we can choose somewhere to meet, maybe have lunch and go for ride.

Don't worry, once you've chromed everything possible you'll be OK!

To answer your question Nostradamus74, I am planning on keeping the black break calipers for now, I may change my mind later, after I see how everything looks put together. I already have the chrome break rotors that will be getting put on.
