Here is a crop from the original photo. The exhaust is just factory, I took off the heat shields, scuffed them with 200 grit on a palm sander, wiped them down, and sprayed them with RUST-OLEUM High Heat BBQ paint. I gave them several coats then baked them in the oven for 2 hours at 250 degrees. They have held up really well and resemble a ceramic coating that a friend did on his bike but was way less expensive. They have held up well except where my boot heel hits it is a little shiney in that spot, but other than that no real chipping.
I used the same paint on the air cleaner cover.

Welcome aboard!! Did you try lowering the fork tubes a hair first?? Also loner industries (member on here) makes riser inserts for the integrated trees.
