Yes they are covers held in place by large hex shaped clamps at the top and muffler clamps on the bottom. I added a small heat shield near the floorboard to keep my boot heal away from the hot pipe. Love the look. The only problem I have is the ripple pipe rattle at certain RPMs.

- October 10, 2014, 16:54:12 PMSo my two cents as the owner of a roadhouse on my 800 and having researched it fairly thoroughly...That is not a roadhouse exhaust, or stock anything, but a combination of things that produced a nice custom install.
The exhaust and tip are period Harley...but this one is chromed. Same as on "OLIVE", which I saw recently at Drift-in 2014. Saw that same exhaust at a recent Antique Motorcycle Club swap meet I just went to...talking with and seeing period bikes at those meets, the guys with the old Harleys tell me metallic flex sections were just run over the down pipes, but I have no firsthand experience with those period exhausts.
The roadhouse downpipe serrated parts make up in two different styles at the top...a large hex or an enlarged round section. They are actual clamped on covers, like the stock exhaust shields. These photos don't show that detail....but that is a nice looking exhaust!

Last winter we kicked around the idea of recreating that effect with some flexpipe, but I don't don't think anyone tried it out in person.

- October 09, 2014, 17:11:21 PMok again to bring up, I'm sure a long well over discussed question.
have searched the forum and Google with a little luck and allot of trash talk regarding P** Boys supposedly crappie version of ripple pipe or flex pipe for exhaust.
but I'm curious a few forum members I know have the either actual ripple manifold pipe or a cover/heat shield very similar on there bikes.
it this an aftermarket accessory apart from the full exhaust upgrade? or is this only sold with specific exhaust kits like the roadhouse kit???
reference the attached picture for what I'm chatting about lol.
