Not my level !! I like chrome. Yours does look good.

Also Patrol21, it's important you be aware that unless you have the Jardine ceramic black pipes already in your possession or have a distributor that can confirm having one to send to you, they are NOT currently available.

I placed an order a month ago (and others have been waiting longer) and finally called Supertrapp (now owner of Jardine exhaust) to ask when they would be shipping. I was told that when they bought Jardine and moved manufacture from Cali to Ohio they discovered that they did not have "sufficient information to manufacture that specific exhaust". In other words they lost the specs. They are working on it, but you won't be able to lay your hands on a new set of Jards for a few months at least.

I am actually glad my Jards didn't ship because I found the Reband exhaust that I like a lot better and (at least if Neville Lush does your tune) produce better power. This pic is from their site... I'm still working on getting the pipe paid for and shipped.

nice bike was considering painting images on my two tone blue, but not sure what type of paint to use, but will look at the Rustoleum option.

Ok, early in the season and already sick of cleaning chrome. Thinking of powercoating some parts but need some guidance and suggestions.

1) non heat parts-gloss black (includes radiator covers/screen)
2) Jardine aftermarket exhaust(full)-had a freiend if I remeber correclty that has his exhausts done in a gloss ceramic coating. I was leaning more toward matte to match motor.

Bike is gloss black (2009 matte motor). Have seen some great looking bikes in the pics section...also seen on some blogs that sand blast prep is so so for durability where dipping to remove charome finish seems to be the way to fly but again....internet bable so anyone who has done this and has some direction and a shop or two that they trust, hit me back.

Yes they have to ruff thhttps:// surface if its chrome in order to make sure the powder coat sticks, this is what I was told at the shop. the parts came out nice for my windshield brackets. new back rest and back is on the way and it is going straight to the powder coat.
