JRK5892 is right, don't purchase new ones... then you'd have extra parts laying around collecting dust! Get the ones you have powder coated. There's lots of gloss levels to choose from, even textures if you want to go that route.

Just a note, I halfass attempted this, this past weekend. I was going to go the powder coat route. It may be easier on the carbed models, but there is a lot of crap to move on the 07-08 models. I decided it wasn't worth it.

Maybe someone who's done it to a Nightster could chime in on some tips

Powder is over rated and I agree 100%...you could have real nice looking covers for the price of a can of high heatpaint. Maybe 5-6 bucks.If you take your time they can look as good or better than powder for alot less $.It's easy to do,it lasts, and you can do 'em right in your garage.I did mine two years ago and they still look great.I don't have a better pic but you can kinda see 'em
