I have a 08 bob and been trying to find a black battery band cover. Does anybody know where I could find it or should I just get it powder coated.

 

powder coat... or rattle can... if you use Black epoxy paint it is a perfect match to high gloss black powder

 

I have the same problem, I think I will be giving mine the rattle can treatment.

 

What kind of sanding should I do, before I rattle can the battery band, and horn cover.

 

You probably won't find a manufacturer that makes one in black... most people just spray paint theirs or have it powdercoated.

 

i just ruff it up wiht 400 gritt sand paper... i powder coated mine but all my stuff is still boxed up for the move... on the battery box and fuse box i sanded it down to metal, 400 grit, then i shot it with black epoxy appliance paint... PERFECT match! also did my shocks last week... look sick!

 

I spray painted mine also, it worked great and much cheaper.

 

if you want durablility the powdercoat should only cost 10-20 bucks.

 

I sprayed the band on my 08 Fat Bob with wrinkle black and "cured" it with a heat gun. It's an exact match to the factory battery cover.

 

thanks joe i think i might give the can shot first if it looks bad it will be a cheap fix
