Exhaust Wrap
Hello. Just bought my Cross Bones and the one thing I noticed on some at the dealers is this DEI (I think) exhaust wrap on the pipes. Mine didn't come with it and I can't decide if it's something to get or leave the chrome showing. Looking for suggestions, thoughts; cool or not??? Here's a link to a new one with the wrap so you know what I'm looking at.thanks.

I think wrap looks great. I didn't wrap my exhaust on my Cross Bones, but I did paint the heat shields. I used a high temp spray paint from an automotive store. It only cost me a few bucks and I think it looks killer. In fact, I had a few different people come up and ask me what exhaust I had on my Bones.
I love telling people I used spray paint on a $20,000 bike!
My point is this: You should do it so your bike is your own.

I like wrapped pipes...
not a big fan of the ones in the picture.... something just doesn't look right
maybe they just didn't go far enough.... not sure
what I would do with your stock exhaust is paint them Black.... and then wrap them to the muffler....
just my .02

What is the worst that can happen? He has to buy a new exhaust? The stock exhaust cost a dollar on ebay and he will probably end up with something aftermarket anyway.
So yes, make the bike your own so your bike stands out a bit. Isn't that the point of owning a harley? Or is it to leave it in the garage and write on this forum like you probably do?

Those look like stock pipes with the heat shields removed and Rush or SE slip-on's.
Not bad, but a bit long for my taste.
I think the blacked out Sideshots or Shortshots from V&H fit a Bones better.
But what any of us likes isn't important, its what you like that counts.

I just wrapped mine and I think they look great. I've found that other people either love them or hate them; not much grey area. I've always loved the look and since it's my ride and I don't much care what anyone else thinks anyway I took the plung. Look up my posts and you'll find one addressing it (warning... use the bathroom first and have refreshments handy... my post was a bit wordy). You can look up posts by "Cowboy1" for a how to. I followed his advise and it worked out quite well. Someday when I run out of bike things to spend my money on I just might invest in a camera so I can post some pictures. I have an FXSTSI by the way, not a Xbones
