Default Ceramic coating
With all the heat the new big twins are putting into the right header, has anyone tried ceramic coating to take some of the heat off your right side? Thanks

Mine on my 2008 FLHTC are ceramic coated. Since the previous owner had them coated, I can not attest to how much cooler you would stay. I can say they are still shiny silver colored at 32k miles. It must be doing something. I have been stuck in traffic and it isn't as bad as everyone complains about.

The outside looks normal so I would guess the inside is caoted. Really don't know though.
