I think that looks pretty good. The color combination is perfect for your bike. Well done!

 

Thanks a lot for the compliments.

Edge, good luck with your project.

 

looks good I guess. Shame to cover all that nice stainless tho lol.

 

I think that looks awesome. You took something ugly and stock and made it look fresh. +1 for creativity, cause at the end of the day that is what will set you aside.

A few hours after reading the first part of this thread I was changing the oil on my bike and realized that I did not want to put the heat shield (the one behind the ride side rear-set) anymore, that and I have new rearsets in the mail, and I do not think they support the heat shield. So I took a page from the Woody book (not like that). I taped her up, went to the store and grabbed some high temp rattle can, and sprayed up the midpipe from about midcenter below the engine to where my slip on bolts up. I did not like the unfinished steel look. Thanks for the ideal and good looks on the art.

 

Thanks Vert. Woody book eh? I'm not sure if I want to be the author of that one! Anyway, glad to know I inspired some of the custom look on your bike. It's so easy and looks so great when done that everybody should be doing this if they have any exposed stock pipe or can showing.

 

Great work Woody!.. Glad to see it came out soo nicely

 

looks alot better.. i think it would look better if you put that plastic housing for the tip back on.. i painted mine black on my white bike.. PM me if you want pics.. but i just wetsanded and painted with the same paint you used on the exaust.


btw.. looks like someone has the same "know your mushrooms" nintendo res cover +1.

 

I might end up trying to put the tip on then.

I haven't seen ANYBODY else with the Nintendo res cover. Are you saying you have it?

 

i never saw the finished pics, that is pretty sick! and $12 total, thats a successful self mod.

now i want to see or hear what it looks like after a month of riding.

 

Well, it actually has held up very well. I've put on about 800 miles since doing this. All dirt, grease/grime wipes right off with a wet rag. I haven't even had to Honda Polish it yet!! The outlet tip is faded just a tiny bit, but otherwise, all looks like it did the day I put it on. Still waiting to see how well it'll hold up through the rest of the season.
