Author Message   Tbowdre Posted on Wednesday, October 30, 2013 - 07:48 pm:        I have a black OEM one and would like to trade it for a silver OEM one. Any takers? It would be great if you were in San Diego Or anyone wanna sell me their sliver one?   Johndb Posted on Thursday, October 31, 2013 - 10:12 am:        I think they are stainless. You might be able to remove the black coating and put a brushed finish on it with a scotchbrite pad or fine sandpaper.   Tbowdre Posted on Thursday, October 31, 2013 - 10:37 am:        seemed so damn obvious as i read your post... Thanks!!   Zac4mac Posted on Thursday, October 31, 2013 - 10:45 am:        Todd The black finish will run cool to the touch(45+mph) especially if you polish the inside. Zack   Jimustanguitar Posted on Thursday, October 31, 2013 - 11:23 am:        The black finish will run cool to the touch(45+mph) especially if you polish the inside. I've been curious about that. Great advice!   Court Posted on Thursday, October 31, 2013 - 12:38 pm:        Black . . both absorbs and gives up heat faster than a polished surface.   Kw1125r Posted on Saturday, November 02, 2013 - 06:02 pm:        I touch the exhaust at +45 simply to heat my hand up... it's getting cold here.   Zac4mac Posted on Saturday, November 02, 2013 - 10:49 pm:        I polished the inside of mine when I painted it flat black sometime in 2008. Making that shield cooler really cut down radiated heat to my leg. I also polished the head-pipes then. Heated grips are gentler on gloves and skin. I put a set on Loretta the day I got her(it was a high of 20dF that day). Here in Colorado, I use the grips on low even in Summer. after dark. My Uly's my daily rider, she had the heated grips stock, and she also has Hippo Hands for Winter riding. Zack
