perhaps the discoloration of the stock headpipe was showing through the insert making it look worse (to me anyway) than it really was. Since your using the fullsac headpipe - which is ceramic coated black - maybe it won't be an issue

Love the look of the Billet Ventilator Air Cleaner!! Anyone have any issue with the weight? It must weigh 10 pounds or more.

Posted a Pic elsewhere, but this fits here.

So far no turkeys  , but it's still pretty new.

Got a dyno tune (gave up on the self tune "fight recorder" due to time and lack of ability).  Fullsac X pipe and 2" cores


104.5 TQ @ 2700 / 90.85 hp

Probably 5 lbs weight.  It is big! 

Cheers!

Those do look good Mark 

Hopefully the only basted turkey you see will be the one on the family table for the holiday.

Any concerns with cleaning/polishing the mesh portion?

Any concerns with cleaning/polishing the mesh portion?

Hi Phato1:

Right now just wiping them down with normal cleaning cloth.  I use a little Bug Slide on a cloth for quick touch ups - even on the chrome.

I figure for tougher spots my old favorite Blue Magic metal polish will get the job done - as long as there is just a little on (in) the cloth.  I wouldn't want to slop it in through the mesh.   

Blue Magic works great on spots, tar, etc. that gets on pipes or other metal.  It will even get rid of bluing on pipes.  Just keep it away from the powder coat parts of the motor.  It can cause chalky white film which is a bear to get off.

Regards,

Mark

Here is the description from MoCo:

Laser cut openings filled with tightly-woven mesh deliver a modern high performance look.
Chrome with chrome screens
Kit replaces factory exhaust shields with a unique design
Perfect match for Original Equipment or Screamin’ Eagle mufflers
Easy to install
Kits include front and rear header shield and collector shield

One fella from WI left a review:

"Got these for '13 FLTRX... Get more compliments on the shields and heavy breather than I could have imagined. Quality product and have not experienced any color variation due to heat.

I Recommend This Product."

Granted, one review is not a lot to go on so caveat emptor for me....

I personally like the look, but the main reason for replacing the HS involves an incident of dropping a microfiber cloth on hot pipes followed by a moment of stupidity by the user (me).  Barely noticeable, but irks me all the same...  

Figured if I was going to replace them, might as well go for a little different look.  I think the mesh will compliment the mesh on the EB A/C.  I also have seen screen type Derby and Points covers from Pro PAD on Denis Kirk that may find their way onto the bike eventually.

I'll post some pics when I get everything installed.  - unfortunately waiting for the A/C which is on back order.  I like how they tell you after you order online.  On another note, the rep from Kutter sent me a listing of dealers who have it in stock.  - May be a road trip to Houston in my future  

Best Regards All,

Mark

BEST Way to get a Melted Microfiber cloth off your chrome pipes............. a real copper penny........flip it from side to side seems to work the best instead of leaving it on one side....lay it flat and just rub back and forth and you can rub it hard as the copper is softer then the chrome. Pipes need to be cold also

here's my cut back black on 12 FLHTK

[FLHTCUSE7]

Looks great.

Went to the dealer and ordered one after your post. Apparently back ordered till the 27 but with the snow coming here I am nit in a hurry.

[cvolovermi]

My local dealer has 2 black ones on the shelf.

I don't much care for the orange logo but this would look baddazz on a skunk...

[HDultraDad]

   Put mine on Thanksgiving Day.  The chrome angles work with my '12 CVO "Big City Lights" pattern.

I wouldn't think so.  I have already swapped out the pipes and installed a SESRT,  I changed out the breather and haven't had any problems. 

I feel that the moderators should delete some pics automatically, you guys cost me too much #**&@#$% money. The scoot is even the puritiest one the MoCo has ever made!!!!

I agree, and I asked Rotarywing to post of pic of the one on his bike.  I'm glad he didn't because I might really love the way it looks on my bike.
