Default Got my pipes back from coating!

Just got my bassani dnt slip ons back from ceramic powder coating after I recently installed black heat shields. I'm sure most will say the front end needs blacking out and it doesnt blend well, but I love it and that's all that matters right. Was considering maybe coating the crash bar but not sure yet. Not interested in doing anything with the forks at this time

FWIW: I agree with you. Chrome lowers (if you do a lot of miles) will always last longer and look better than blacked out. I have the same on mine but, the cowbells are black.

Looks great. But then again I like the looks of black exhaust.

I’m,Ike the mix of black...with a bit of chrome that stands out. I think it’s a great balance. But then, I’m a chrome *****. To me into not about the chrome for my chrome whoreness...just the balance is good.
