I went ahead and ordered the Screamin Eagle black heat shield set. The collector shield is still on backorder so the one in the pic is factory/painted but the exhaust looks way better without the bronze and silver...
Also added the led rear fender light. Now I can start spending less on parts and more on gas.

Looks awesome! Harley makes a black shield but it would probably be cheaper to have it coated.

The black Screamin' Eagle heat shields cost me $292. I was quoted $300 to powder coat my factory ones.

Just get what looks good to you, performance wise I don’t think there is any difference with the slipons.
