Gaz1, that's a beauty. And thank you for posting both photos because I had a set of chrome pipes IDENTICAL (side turnout tips and all) to those in your first photo, and had them high-temp coated black to put on the Sturgis, thinking the original pipes could be improved upon, sound and looks wise. But your second photo answers my thinking. The aftermarket ones look crap in black on a Sturgis, and the original chrome pipes look far better. You did the right thing binning the matt black ones ... and I did the right thing by recently selling my ones and a couple of other bits I intended to try on my FXB. It is staying bone stock. Because that's what really stands out. The 1982 pipes were not 2-1s, of course.
I sold the lot (black-coated aftermarket pipes, newly reupholstered 1980 aftermarket seat which did not work with the stock sissy par and pad, mini hamcan handmade in USA to fit a brand new black S&S Super E carb I also bought) to a mate last month for a good price, and used the money to buy a very costly matching Edelbrock carb and intake manifold for my 1968 Buick Wildcat instead.......
Correct sissy bar now fitted, damaged sissy bar pad repaired by a local specialist, quite a few little bits on their way from USA to finish it off.
