took off the pipe shields to paint high gloss black to
match the rest of the black trim.

i like the look/sound of the stock pipe,i fool around with gopeds
so i have some extra pipe wrap laying around.
might just do the end like a stinger look.
just leaving the shields off.

this is just a real quick wrap with out even trying to
look nice.i'm deffinetly going this route instead
of an aftermarket pipe.looks better than i thought
it was going to look.

probably looks better on these.
but seriously the shields look gay.
i'll post up a pix tommorow after
i take the tabs off and do it better.

a few members have done other things,like spraying it black,and 3m vinyl wrapping,bed liner..i think the 3M matte black vinyl looked the best.

i have both pieces sprayed with some acrylic black
gloss,looks just like the tank.
but,the more i look at the wrap the more i like it.

Go with a can or put the shield back on.

ha ha.

probably going with an aftermarket after some
more have been developed/put out.
i just cant stand the shields,to bulky looking.
i was going to use some big clamps but stainless steel wire
looks better i think.
they do paint up nice.many coats.wet sanded
inbetween coats

i like the way your cover came out,toobad its not on the bike,with a pic lol

haha, please put the shield back on! I will be sure to snap a few pics of the carbon fiber two brothers exhaust when I get it installed so you can see it. I like how the black gloss paint came out though!

i've had alot of bikes through the years
much more agressive than this,got it for the
good gas mileage.been tooling around lately
on some reeded gsr tsi 40's but the police are cracking
down on registations and left me with only the truck
which i hate to spend the gas for just around
the house and store.

i'm deffinetly getting a slip on later.
but for now i'm leaving the wrap.
thought it would at least get one
positive voteoh well at least it
will be unique

a couple of these will smoke this cbr up to 45-50mph.
