It was also time for the 5K service, so while I was changing the fluids, I took the opportunity to replace the chrome primary cover with a wrinkle black one($150 on eBay. Good deal).
I just didn't like the black inner primary coupled with a chrome outer. Go all chrome or all black, but not half-and-half. (I feel the same way about chromed Softail swingarms.) For that reason, I also replaced the raw aluminum clamp that rests on a black riser...
...and the aluminum levers protruding from black control perches.
(Yes, my garage is a mess. First World Problems.)
It may seem like a contradiction to leave the chrome access plate and derby cover, but it's not. Those are accent pieces, not one half of a unit. Once I get around to installing a belt primary, I'll probably do something interesting with those bits, but one thing at a time.
