Looking at the America I think the black bike would look good with chrome carb bowls. They would match the top chrome part. Anybody ever seen chrome bowls offered?

Yep, Mother's Mag & Aluminum Polish is great stuff. It works great with minimal effort on all uncoated metals.

Dardoonk is the member that polished his carb bowls, he had pics on the rat.net, they looked really good, almost a light bronze color.

I just wash the bike as normal and they look great, dry the water spots off and no problem.

I polished the bowls and the intake and painted the carbs black.
I think it would look great on a speedy's black motor.

I was drooling over Pete's bowls at the GA Rally. They look great!
