Default Exhaust wrap...

Black wrap or titanium on my bike?

Was thinking of going this route over the winter.

Black fades, titanium doesn't, what say you?

Been thinking about this myself. Fading adds a certain "character" but think I"m going to go the titanium route.

I like the black after it fades, my sig is right after I wrapped/sprayed them last spring. the wrap has faded quite a bit now, it looks way better IMO. I can snap a pic of what they look like now if you're interested.

i had mine wraped black and about every 6 months i would spray them with vht flame proof header paint.

I would mask off the bike with newspaper and spray them while still on the bike
its a fun little project on a fri. night when nothin else was going on.

but I also like the looks of the titanium, so either way it would look bad ***

I'm going clean bars, clean *** end, jockey shift...

I think the titanium wrap will add to the ratted out look a little bit.

I know I know I still have gloss finish paint, but that's staying and I might throw a little old school pin striping on the rear fender to keep the look going
