I kept my chrome headers and just went black on the mufflers. Trying to keep a nice balance of chrome to black.

I have the V&H power duals in black. the only thing i dont like about them is the gap in the heat shield where the floorboard is near but it does not touch, especially with the harley goodies extensions

Fatcat here as well. Agree that the finish doesn't hold up very well. Will be sanding and painting mine this winter after only 2 seasons.
