Transmission Cover - Silver to Black
#11
The wrinkle Black in Powder Coating (at least at my PCer) was called "Hot Rod Texture Black"..
Keep in mind it's glossier than the engine because it was fresh powdercoating and i hadn't cleaned the engine yet.. and also keep in mind that it won't match the engine 100%, Nor will the Harley Wrinkle Black one that you can buy.. my dad has that one on his NightTrain and you can still see an apparent difference in the blacks.
Btw, the entire silver part is called the "Primary Cover"..the black circle cover is called the "Inspection Cover" and if you go to the other side of your bike, the thing that says "Six Speed" is your transmission cover

Here's an entire thread devoted to "derby covers":

sometimes you can find used ones on ebay for pretty cheap. any twin cam 96" from a softail or dyna with forward controls should work. fat bob comes stock with black...as does the xbones and night train i believe.
i picked one up at a dealership for 20 bucks. brand new take off. every once in a while dealers need to get rid of old take off parts that they accrue throughout the year and they will have a "flea market" or "swap meet" in their parking lot. best place to find good take off stuff. get in tight with your local parts guy and find out when they are having one.

Thanks for pointing out the proper (or common) terminology of the parts.
