Default Blacked out bike help

I can find the front fender light in black with a smoked lens but I cannot find the fender rails in black to match. I do not want to go to a slick front fender but I need a source for the rails. I have rattle canned the stock ones but they do not look good.

Anybody have a clue where I can find them?

If you can't find a source for the black part, powder coating is the way to go, it holds up extremely well. I take all of my parts to a shop that specializes in coating frames and parts for race cars, mostly dirt track. Owner is an HD rider so he loves doing bike parts also. This avenue is 10x cheaper than buying the black specific parts outright.

Yep I have powdered everything else but did know if the rails were metal or not so I rattled canned them. Also the gloss black powder is just a shade off harley's gloss black. You can't hardly tell it unless you are right on top of it.

^ I've noticed that as well. Just the right angle exposes the difference in color but for the most part, it blends right in. The shop I go to calls it "wet black" and it's hard to tell the difference.

Hope you figure something out!
