Thanks, I appreciate the info but it looks like more than I’m wanting to spend. I already kinda went over budget so I’m probably just going to end up doing something I can do myself. I actually hear powder coating is really cheap, it’s the prep work involved that’s time consuming and expensive. It seems I have perked others interest so if anyone wants to make these pipes and go with a different finish I would love to see how they come out. Especially that polished aluminum heat blocking for the chrome junkies. I bet that would come out nice

By the time you know you have touched those pipes, you will have 3rd degree burns.

Yeah, your absolutely right. They don’t get as hot as I thought they would but I went on a 2 hour ride last night and when I got off my jeans were kinda burned. Not visibly, but they felt rough and I could see meted fibers on the pipe. So I like your idea for the heat shield. It was in the low 40’s last night so that may have helped keep the heat from getting outa control.
