Default Conversion to BLACK OUT!!!

I have a 2011 Vivid Black Streetglide and slowing coverting the bike to black, I have had a lot of problems finding black out items namely an air filter/cleaner cover. Just want a basic black cover, don't want any big breather stuff. Any suggestions...Thank you.

I bought a powder coating kit for parts my 2010 SG, it worked out well for all of the small items (turn signals, brackets, etc.)

I had my Arlen Ness chrome cover painted to match the bike. I did this when I put on the new front fender and had my inner fairing painted. I think it looks good, and no one else around here has anything like it.

Find a good Powder Coating Shop in your area and use them , its cheaper in most cases to buy chrome and have it powder coated then to buy black.

I had a thread about HD Bag Guards and by going with the chrome kit and coating it black I saved about $ 150.00 over buying black from the MOCO. I had the Bag Guards, Engine Guard, Lower Fork Legs and Cow bells coated for about $ 75.00 and in the case of the lower fork legs they look better than the HD Legs in black because I smoothed and polished the casting marks out before having them coated. The Black legs from HD all have a rough spot under the fender mount that the factory leaves when they coat that parts.
