"Once you go black.....


I would vote for black also, though I too am a chrome guy.

I am another for remove the shields and re-wrap. I like the natural "dirty" look, but understand your concern for the taper. The wrap would have looked good on your bike with simple straight up drag pipes. That said, in your current situation I would consider just getting some high temp flat black paint, pull the pipes off, spray the wrap and put them back. They will need to be redone if you do it this way as the wrap moves around and uncovers the unpainted wrap.

I vote the Ratty look for sure. Only way you will get it though is to remove heat shield. I think it would look sick after they burn a little and i'm now thinking of that for my bike, so....... Thanks for that hit in my pocket man

Take the wrap off and let the chrome shine...or leave as it is...or paint it black.

Trashy!?....I don't know if that's where I was going...jk.Was just thinking a beigeish,kinda burnt color.I'm just thinking the natural color isn't working.
