+1 for Figure Machine
I've been dealing with these guys for a few years. Nothing but top notch parts 100% made in the U.S.A. with American materials. They'll do custom designs, too. Very reasonable and the best customer service you can find. Give 'em a call. You won't be disappointed.
My gals A/C on her 1200. It's chrome with two colors of powder coating. Fantastic, beautifully engineered work:


My derby cover for my Softail.
Two colors of powder, airbrushed highlights, and clear coated. The teeth and eyes are polished aluminum. Amazing stuff:

I've got the Biltwell bottle opener. I dig that you can't really tell what it is until you get close enough to read it.

I'm pretty sure you can flip the bottle opener. It has 2 screws that hold it onto the backing plate. But you really have to be laying on your belly to see the writing on the cover.
