Default black dual headers with chrome mufflers PICS needed

I'm thinking of going to the true dual set up. Now I can buy a set of black dual headers, but I do have chrome rinehart mufflers. Anybody has pictures of a dual set up with black headers and chrome mufflers?

Is it possible to put the chrome exhaust shields on the headers?

Thanks for your replies.

Depending on what your bike looks like (color, etc.) it might look great. I PC'd the header pipe heat sheilds on my wife's sporty gloss black and left the rest chrome. It looks great with the chrome exhaust.

I think it will just make your mufflers look like they are just hanging there. I've seen it the other way too. Black mufflers with chrome headers. Looks like they're running straight pipes. The chrome exhaust shields would look good but where are you going to get them?

most likely not. The angles will probably be different, etc.

If you wanted uniformity from header to muffler you could get the mufflers treated...

the duals you're looking at don't come with heatshields? most do.

I guess they do have shields, but I thought I probably could replace them by the original ones.
Maybe putting ceramic gloss black coating to both headers and mufflers will be the solution.

I don't think it looks bad at all.

Not true duals, but Fuel Moto has a killer stainless steel 2-1-2 header. This header uses the original chrome heat shields and you can have the shields and your chrome mufflers
treated and black ceramic coated or just have the either part done and leave the other
chrome........ I personally would want both the same... either all chrome or all black, but
thats just me.......................................hdman
