Correct finish buddy seat brackets etc?

[kehughes]

Were the early Panhead buddy seat brackets/springs/hardware parkerized or painted black? And also the bar catcher bracket that mounts on the rear fender? Thank you for your help.

Buddy seat brackets, yokes, springs and hook on top of rear fender painted black.
All nuts, bolts, washers, short extenders parkerized.
All the hardware attached to the seat itself is parkerized except for 2 lower spring plates and 2 flat plates that are cad. plus the 2 wing nuts.
I might be incorrect about the seat hardware being cad, hopefully someone will chime in and help me out.
