24v, as you know I like chrome but I must admit that your BO is really awesome!
Since you already turned into the "dark side", I'd have the other covers in black too. Great idea struts, shift arm and triple tree.

Any twin cam with forward controls should work for the outer primary. Any twin cam at all for the cam cover. The top trans cover should work from any twin cam as well. The side tranny cover only from a Breakout, or maybe a Rocker.

It's the real thin coating they use on some dirt bike forks to make them different colors. I'm not sure exactly what it's called.

Here are a couple pics, I posted some more in my album and our group page. I ordered a rear axle cover from Heartland Biker, I didn't like the Harley one for my bike. Added a picture of the one I ordered. The covers also come in black, they are about a $150 a pair. I really need to learn how to post more than one pic at a time!
