I think if you just changed the background in the emblem from black to red as spydglide suggested would be a huge improvement and give a custom look.  It also would pretty much keep with your theme and is relatively easy to do with a little paint remover and a tool to fill engraving with paint.

Buy Early.....a good pin striper can paint the black to red for you on all three covers......the black ring on that horn cover too.

JC, think you misunderstood, according to my ultimate scheme, the black would be chrome, the bar/shield and Harley Davidson script would be red. It would be at least a 2 step process. Further complicating the issue is some parts (primary cover, timer cover, and inspection cover) experience high heat so simple paint might not work. I work myself into a tizzy over these details.

Ya gotta figure out how to golden the flames on the derby, points and air cleaner cover to keep with the theme.  I gotta admit, I didn't think there was much more you could do to that beauty, but you keep finding a way.  

Tough to make out in the photos but the flames on the derby cover, inspection cover, air cleaner, and horn cover are gold. HD makes 2 types, chrome only and gold flames. That's one of the things that got me started in making all flames gold. I had the shifter rod, hand grips, rear turn signal flames, flames on the gas cap and LED fuel gauge all golded by a detail shop in trying to keep the theme consistent. It gets crazy after a while.

Anybody know where there's a 12 step program for this guy?

Funny you should mention that! My wife has suggested some sort of treatment as well.

I would expect someone like you to understand and be sympathetic to my illness!

There is an alternative but you'll have to talk to Miker about that.

Now that you mentioned it, I can see it in the pics now.  I should have known better.      You are a sick puppy, but in a very good way.
