Looks like fuel motos has a heat shield that goes all the way to mid saddlebags. That in itself might push me in that direction. Right now I have a set of cans on that have gold and it looks nasty. It would be awesome to have a shield to cover up the at risk sections. Wish I would have known what I know now and I would have done the fuel moto package and would have saved serious cash.
The step down that you see on the Pro Pipe muffler is a shield as well.
For some reason when it comes to 2-1 pipes you don't hear much about the Rhineharts. Wasn't even considering until this thread. I want to learn more, I like the look the best so far. Got a part number?
I had the Rinehart 2-1 on my Fatboy. Click the link in my sig to see the pics. IIRC (mine were black but I believe the chrome is the same) the entire header is all heat shield, right up to the muffler.
