This will sound harsh, but why would anyone who's researched something fully before they bought it and understands what they are getting expect them to be included?
The clamp,,, I can see where they should be black. But, $5 for a can of high temp will fix that. (Or p-coat 'em,,,)
What to do now with your forward shields? Powder coat 'em like everyone else has had to do who's purchased black F6B slip-ons.
In the long run, it will be far less $$$ for you to p-coat 'em yourself than to pay for a 2nd set of shields in black from Cobra.
Maybe some day Cobra will offer the shields as a 'kit' option with the slip ons,,, I reckon the MSRP for that combined kit will be just shy of 1 large,,, And,,, with such a high MSRP, most will opt to either go chrome or p-coat their existing shields instead of buying the full kit,,, which in turn leaves Cobra with a low-demand item, the black forward shields,,,
Its all about the $$$. Always has been, always will be.
