Any Photo Shop Wizards Here?

Are there any Photo Shop wizards here?

I'm thinking of getting my motorcycle chrome muffler powder coated or ceramic coated (if they can do that over chrome).

I'm wondering what my bike would look like with the muffler the same color as the valve covers or a semi-matte black like the bike frame. It would be nice to see the look before pulling the trigger.

Appreciate any help.

Wow. Thanks Eric!

I'm glad to see this as the Gray was my "original: first choice but seeing it....I don't like it and the black is much better.

Anyone with an opinion?

• Black looks best

• Eric did a terrific job with the photoshop.

That's my opinion.

My other option was to get an Akrapovic sport muffler but that's $1200 and they don't ship to California anymore and I don't like the sound of it on this particular bike.

I almost got a GS but I'm not rich enough but I'm very happy with the RS. I've been riding the past couple of weeks switching back and forth from the RNineT to the RS. The RS is much smoother and faster and I love the quick shifter. Hopefully I can sell the R Nine T soon.

Thanks again for the Photo Shop

I'd consider darkening the foot peg brackets/muffler hanger too.
