Can not help you with the part n°, I installed a reflector that normal sits on the fender struts, it have a nice lenght. You can, buy them for cheap on Ali, Amazon, Ebay or whatever...
I made a small alu bracket for it and looks almost as stock.

I got a 2 pack of the red strut reflectors from Amazon for $5 delivered. Description reads - Fitment: for XL883 XL1200 48 2004-2018
Specification:
- Color: Red
- Size:Approx. 137mm x 18mm (L x W)

We have to have a red reflector near the plate that can be seen from a certain distance, the size doesn’t matter so although full size would fit, I cut it in half and it looks fine to me, just one end rounded the other square where I cut it.

The trim doesn’t fit over the standard air cleaner right? If not do you replace just the front cover and trim, or is it a whole air cleaner swap?

I personally don’t like the blacked out bikes as they generally just look like a black blob with no contrast to give the visual lines of the bike. That looks good though, with the contrast still on the wheels and the small amounts of chrome on the engine components. 🥃
