Man.. moving the fairing is quite a thing to forget!!
Glad it worked out for ya!

Who did you use to ceramic coat your exhaust?? Is it a
purely cosmetic thing? Are you happy with the results?

Jim
Yes, it is coated inside and out and reduces the exterior temperature of the 
pipe considerably! (this is where a lot of the heat under the fairing 
originates) It is also supposed to increase power output somewhat but I'm not sure 
how...something about keeping the heat inside the pipe. I did mine in a ceramic 
coating that looks like polished aluminum. The finish is good to something like 
2500 degrees and is supposed to be impervious to salt spray, corrosion etc. 
The work was done by a company called ProCoat in Tampa Florida. Nice folks. 
Cost about $140.00.
