It never ceases to amaze me that if you ask something "outside the box" companies just don't respond (sorry about the gripe)

- August 11, 2014, 19:07:32 PMok couple of questions:
I went out and checked my system just now, and you would need 18" for the front and 13" for the rear and that is enough for a any issues. So in chrome it will run in the area of 125.90, and no cost on shipping yet.
But my questions are more technical.
I know that the smooth heat shields are only cover only a bit over half the exhaust pipes. This will allow a lot of air flow over the exhaust to keep it cool. So a solid cover over the pipe keep a lot of the heat inside the cover, good or bad?
These are made of copper? Not sure how they would stand up to the heat.
It will be interesting on what Kiwi can find out.

- August 11, 2014, 15:54:50 PMGreat updates guys. I have emailed Cool Flex and I'm waiting for a response in regards to using their blacked out flexible hosing as a heat shield over the headers. If I get a response from them I will update you with what they say.

Heck, you could even have red serrated covers on your red bike! Or black on your blackout bike!

- August 10, 2014, 22:14:48 PMYour most welcome, and I do know that the Road House system the nuts ( for lack of a better word for it) is somehow welded or attached to the serrated cover. Then the instructions tell you to attach the pipes with the flanges and install them loosely, then to slide the covers up over the pipes and have the set screws in the nuts towards yourself and tighten them only enough to hold the bolts in place. Then to line things up with the lower parts and tighten once the complete system is tight then to loosen the set screws on the nuts and turn them so they are not seen and tighten them.
Some day.....but some day a front hub cover also, hard to find parts......

- August 10, 2014, 20:38:06 PMThe road house exhaust with the serrated heat covers did in fact slide up over the header pipes and then there was a couple of tabs that were used at the lower end with a hose clamp to hold it in place behind the cover, at the top it was cover with the big "bolt" and these bolts were held in place by a couple of Allan headed screws. Hope the pictures help....
