Actually looks great. I agree with ceramic coating also.

and they do have ceramic coating that will allow you to keep the rawness look and still dissipate heat. Love the way it looks depending on taste id go two ways, either a ceramic coat it black due to the color of the bike, or fork over the cash and get that bad boy polished. That all depends if you want to bring more attention to the fact that its got no cans, but either way great look i love seeing things that are different.

You gotta do a tail chop that just kills the look
Like the pipes ..but curious as to the sound , I think you will need some kind of baffle
Don't like the plate location to sport bikeish
I like the pipe wrap idea or try the mop'n'glow coating to give it that raw look

Yes Mop'n'Glow us old 2 stroke guys who fab expansion chambers use mop'n'glow on raw pipes . This keeps the pipes from degrading in looks .
First take your raw pipes wash down with a product like acrosol or any other cleaner wax stripper
hang pipes coat with mop'n'glow
let dry ..second coat ..third coat
install pipes

couldn't help myself, had to google mop n glo. found this, complete with photo -
http://www.caferacer.net/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=13498
more good info on painting pipes -
http://scooterrebels.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=2strokescooters&action=print&thread=1408
sticking an oxy torch in one end always helps with the bake.
wonder if mop n glo would work on a unpainted steel fuel tank?

I find it disturbing that you're imagining me in a sauna, never mind the teletubbie aspect of it
