Blacking it out:UPDATE W/ PICS!

[DexterMorgan]

I got my headers back from being ceramic coated today.  They turned out great.  QC coatings coated inside and out.  Can't wait to get them back on the bike with the new Comp Werkes pipe.  

They also powder-coated my Rizoma rear axle sliders gloss black.  I will be taking my business back there for sure.  Will have them do my sprocket carrier, handlebars, and handlebar clamp next.  

Whatcha think?

Looks great!  It is gonna make that swing arm jump like it is supposed to.  Were it not for the extra noise I would have gone that route.  Cops here can be a little rough on exhaust systems.

The exhaust looks amazing!!!
Can't wait to see it on the bike!

[DexterMorgan]

Should be on within a week or so.

Sorry for the crappy cell pics.  I almost got it finished.  (Too many  )  Just an update, I will post better pics and eventually a video....check back later.  Overall, I am very happy.

Dexter your bike looks amazing! I like the blacked out headers as I haven't been a big fan of the rerouting ducati did with the newer gen monsters. But that blends it in well. Additionally you have the better benefit of less felt heat with the ceramic coat. Did you get it locally done or can you recommend the place?

Thanks!  The work was done by QC coatings in Utica MI.  They do fantastic work.

Now that looks like a proper exhaust.

Dexter, did you forget to have the heat shield powder coated?     

[DexterMorgan]

I haven't touched it since I mocked it up there. I may do carbon for the heat shield and I am def doing the flapper cover in carbon.

Well done!  very Diesel-esque

Adam, you should have the guy that anodized your stuff do the rear sprocket carrier.  Then you could toss on a black sprocket also

You read my mind. I have already planned on doing that!  I think I might wait until next winter though.  I want to focus on getting it all put back together and come spring, buy the power commander V and spend the money having it fine tuned with this exhaust, MWR power up kit and filter.
