There are options......like the Harley black heat shields and a set of slipons of your choice. Example......

Only non-oem part in this exhaust was the slip-ons:

I saw the black heat shields in the catalog but didn't really want to spend the almost $300 for them now to just throw them away when I upgrade to a full exhaust. That said, I would consider removing and painting my heat shields matte black if I thought they would stay that way.

Modular your bike looks great with all the matte black! Im curious if it came that way. On the 2022, there were only two options and both were gloss but one was black and the other white.

With mine being a 2018 and having the optional at the time 114 motor the color is Industrial Gray Denim but I have had a few of the parts that were originally gloss black power coated matte black.

I did mine with VHT, I had plan to do have them powder coated, but after almost a year I had no problems with it, so I kept the paint.


There is also a Screaming Eagle option:

That looks fine to me. May have to pick up some VHT primer and paint today...
Did you sand them down to bare metal or just scuff them up first?

I just scuff them up a little bit and then cleaned them up really good before applying the paint.
