ces pipes for the touring rocket 3 question

[BigKel]

And the dyno sheets CES sent me.

The CES system works fairly well with a worked engine as well. I have a full system from them and the bike is putting out over 240 rwhp

No problem. No idea how they mount... Wouldn't recommend welding onto your ceramic pipes!
Can't ride up to the dyno day, sadly. Just found out recently that the wife's got baby #2 in the oven, so I need to help her when we fly up to SeaTac along with the 18-month-old for a visit Aug 20-25. Maybe we can still meet up for a cold beverage at some point.

WOW!
An 18 monther and one in the oven! How cool izzat?!?!? CONGRATS!!!
Would like to hook up if you wish. Contact me when you're in the area.

Just curious.
Who in OZ is putting out all the dynos from Slacks Creek?

I was quoted AUS$1818 for a full system. That's:
USD $1,326
CAN $1,718
EUR 1,209
GBP 850

(Shipping, import taxes if applicable, heat shields, etc. extra.)

I was just over $2000 AUD with the expedited air freight shipping.

to fit the mini heat shield you would have to either fabricate some strap type mounts or grind of some of the ceramic coating and repaint the small area (which will be behind the mini shields) around where you get the threaded lugs welded on with a heat proof exhaust paint or get them ceramic coated again, personally I plan on getting some Stainless Steel hose clamps and weld lugs on to them, Also I have not got any issues with using my Highway pegs only time I have scorched my jeans was while in heavy Sydney traffic while using rear brake my jeans happen to come in contact with rear pipe which is where the mini heat shield would be.
I have an 08 Std with the Std Footboards conversion which put the feet in a similar position to Std pegs about 1 1/2 inch higher than a Classic or Touring the other area you will need a heat shield is down back where you muffler pipe connects to Header , as a few can testifie this area likes to melt wet weather pants.
the first picture is before and second is my prototype solution which does work, just doesn't look good enough

Not as easy as it sounds mate...
I tig welded lugs on my Rebands - ground the ceramic coating off etc. but the welding process pulls the molten ceramic from the inside coating into the weld WHAT A PIAN IN THE NECK.

I burnt a hole in a new pair of black jeans while sitting at a red light on the day of Pete's funeral.

Was two pair for me so, I had my sis make me a heat shielded leather leggin for my right leg.
Velcros on and works GREAT!!!

Naturally, I wear long pants and boots when riding!

Here are some photos of my recently fitted CES headers & collector pipe. RWHP is 156. Stainless heatshields have been fitted by CES.
The third photo shows the way I will deal with the heat, by fitting another stock chrome cover into the opposite direction. Should work perfectly fine in terms of heat, though it will obstruct the view of the headers a little bit. Will post a pic when it's done.
