Btw, does anyone know if there's a mid-frame air deflector fitting BO? I don't like leather types, prefer rigid ones. On HD catalog the only softail model is not supposed to fit BO. I'm not a fanatic enthusiast of this accessory but during summer here it's often hot. Anybody has it on his BO?

I'm not a friend of these air deflectors. Once you're travelling you most probably won't need 'em. Once you're standing still e.g. when stuck in traffic they will contribute to trap hot air around the head of the rear cylinder. This might be even more critical if it's hot anyway.
But it's up to you whether you prefer to roast your cylinder or your *****
Nostradamus,here's another Left side pic. 24v yes that is a Wimmer intake. I should be getting the rear axle covers tomorrow.
Rear axle covers will complete the chromed swingarm.
Your bike is really bada$$!
What about completing the left mid-frame with chromed inner primary cover (p.n. 60815-08A)? Would look even better IMHO. As far as I can see you also added chromed voltage regulator, didn't you?

Well, I'd choose the cylinders, no doubts!
From an aesthetic point of view I don't like them either but it happened in the past to feel the need of them. I started smelling roasted chestnuts!
Haven't decided yet, just looking around if they do exist for BO and how they're made.
The only type I find nice is p.n. 61400028 but, unfortunately, it only fits Touring models...

Nostradamus, yes I did chrome the voltage regulator. For now I like the contrast of the black behind the chrome but later might consider the inner primary cover. Thanks for the complement, your bikes looking good also!

Thanks BroTim but while your BO is almost ( never completely ) finished (and already awesome) mine is about 30% of the "project". I was planning to have V&H Big Shots Staggered, chrome inner primary cover, billet headlight, Daymaker and some smaller parts mounted this week but unfortunately experiencing some backorders so I'll have to be patient....hopefully next week.
Btw, today I found and bought on ebay a Blackline console, paid a ridiculous price since it has a little scratch on the paint, to have it chromed! Now I only need to find chrome forward control brackets!
