i hate the look of exhaust wrap. i wonder if ceramic coating them will lower the temperature enough.

You could always get the $250 Ducati carbon fiber heel guards... or wait until I make my aluminum guards. Don't hold your breath on that though.

I'm using the Leo Vince carbon exhaust guard from Motowheels. Works awesome.
