I suggest you to wrap the full exhaust and make it a Egypt Mummies Sporty.
Just kiddn' You did a good job and it looks bad S. Did you have to take the chrome off completely and paint? Just curious

I like it... I really like the flat black. If it were me, I think I would have stopped at the flair or not used the wrap, but it's nice just the same. Great Job!

I love exhaust wrap...I think use the black wrap,untilwhere the muffler begins (like Nefxdxt said)and itll look SWEET! It should by now go unsaid to say "in the end, do what you like most"....Nice ride...Super Jealous! Almost was in tears when I saw someone on an olive/black Nightster on highway 101 this weekend. Want one!

Your original post did not ask for an opinion so I won't give one.

ORIGINAL: blackie

little 1200 degree flat black paint some 1000 grit wet sand paper and some header wrap and stainless zipties, i was gonna do black but wanted to see what the traditinal color looked like on the bike, kinda gives it more character. i can always paint the wrap black to match, what do you all think??
I think I love your nightster blackie.

Looks good. I have the very same wrap on mine, but I ended up putting the shields back on over the wrap since the heel of my boot kept melting onto the rear pipe and making it look like poop.

What temp rating did you need for the paint on the mufflers?
