Just to let you all know that where I bought my bike, they sell the stock pipes powdered coated black. It includes the front trim pieces also. I think they were a tad over $400.00 but I can't remember. QUOTE]
It will be interesting to see how the powder coat holds up. It is usually cured at 400°F and if it gets much hotter it will melt off. Because the stock exhaust you see is really a shield it might stay cool enough to stay put. I assume they have tried it before otherwise I suggest not being the Beta tester.
