Ceramic Coated Exhaust and or Heat Wrap
I've been thinking about putting True Dual on my Fatboy however due to the heat on the left leg i'm going to put Ceramic Coating on the pipes. If done properly is it true you can touch the pipes after 30 minutes of riding and it will be warm but not hot to the touch?
How about Heat Wrap, how effective will that be?

I'd go ceramic if I were going to do it. Wrap looks nice at first, but I'm not a fan of how it looks after some time.
Maybe the method of installation of the wrap makes a difference in appearance over time??

Not from what I experience when calling around. I was checking on both, Powder & Ceramic. I didn't find any shops that offered both. In fact I found local Powder Coat companies all over the place. But very few companies to offer Ceramic Coating. Which is another turn-off for me. Nearest is about 1.5 hours away.

ceramic coating works quite well if done inside & out. pipes will be cool enough to touch abt. 20 minutes after shutting down your bike. had a set of triumph pipes done awhile back, turned out great.

Powder Coating and Ceramic Coating are two different processes entirely.

Heat wraps are good if you want that "held together by rust" look. They hold in the moisture, maximising the potential for rust. Also collect all the road grime without the ability to clean it out, for a true "rat bike" look. Is that what you're going for?
