Default Gray Pipes?
I powder coated the heat shields of my Crossbones exhaust RAL7011. Mainly because I was too lazy to change the powder color in the gun. But it's growing on me. What do you think?

Looks better than them bags. Sorry. Maybe a red pinstripe on them would be cool to match the bike. Love the rigid though man.

The bags were an expedient when the bike had the stock pipes, plus they were free. Sooner or later I'd like to upgrade to some nice Army brown replicas I've seen. They'll look great with a brown surplus '25 Army seat I have. But they're pricey and I'm cheap. The powder color is actually starting to grow on me, and I think I may powder a few more pieces the same. Possibly the polished engine covers and the chrome lights and bar. It's easy enough to change if I don't like it.
