Hmm...depends on the bike- looks like you have a hero blue City-X with a Latus pipe. What color is the pipe?

I'm very partial to the black, but I have a black and silver bike. My header wrap is black...kinda gives you an idea of what it will look like. I personally plan to have my entire exhaust coated with a high-temp, 90% gloss powder coat this winter...in black.

Here's a Harley I saw at Dulono's this summer with black...looked damn sweet:







All of that said, if I had a hero blue bike, I'd go silver on the entire exhaust.

yeah, i met a guy who was doing V8 headers for some race shops here. He'd never done the blue before so he had to order it but it came out good and that was over 2 yrs ago.

Dropping my Micron off at Grandstand Designes for the black in about an hour or so. Go to his website and look at the one he just did black and red, it's way cool.

They will go a little flat close to the head where it's the hottest.
