Awful Scrambler headers
My 06 Scrambler headers are awful looking shades of blue, spots of gold etc. Jet Hot is offering many colors including red and semi gloss black. Anyone have them? Comments. I was thinking of just going with the Arrow but I like the twin muffler look and you know the stainless will turn a shade of gold though a uniform gold through out.

You can try wrapping your headers. Somewhere in here I think you can see mine in a picture. I believe there is a shot of them in a thread I did called,"scrambler handlebars."

In the BMW GS world they are referred to as "**** Brown" headers. My scrambler headers look much better so far!

ceramic coating your headers or wrapping them would be your best bet

Jamboa 2003, I always like the positive feedback by the way Louisiana looks like crap.

I had my header pipes ceramic coated with the silver color. I love it. I think black would look cool too. Color depends on what colors your bike is and your own taste.
I highly recommend it though.

Thanks I needed to be told that. I never knew. You must be looking at the Asphalt Jungle "New Orleans". I see people all the time from the Orient by the look of their eyes taking pics on the side of the highway of the swamp, Cypress trees, Above ground tombs, moss laden Live Oak trees, etc. So where do you live?
I like a change and that is why I spend so much time at my log cabin in the mountians of Arkansas riding the forest roads and serpentine highways.

I did not mean to say your bike looks like crap. I did not see it. I have seen others with wrapped pipes. It just is not the look I like. Everyone has a right to an opinion.
