Depends what color your bike is too. If it were me, I'd get the chrome , leave the heat shields off, and wrap them with black header wrap. Let about 4-5 inches unwrapped at the end of the pipe. That way, you have a nice contrast between the black wrap, and the chrome pipe. Just an idea.

Go back and read the OP again. Not that it matters to me, but he said "silver powder coated engine". Again, not that I care.

Black

I love my Black SS on my Candy Red Sunglo Fat Bob.

The Black shields even feel nice to the touch.

Nobody buys the SE exhaust gaskets. They stink. Go back and get the regular ole exhaust gaskets. They're fine. Give me 20min. I'll walk out to my car for the part number of the regular gaskets.
