This is a set of pipes taken off a 2007 Vulcan 900 with 6000 miles on it.Pipes are in good shape, no scratches or dents on the heat shields. The mufflers were painted flat black by the previous owner of the bike.I do not know what the finish looks like under the paint but there are no visible dents, scratches or road rash. So maybe they just liked black.Overall a good cheap replacement for your Vulcan pipes if you need them.Or you could just buy them and list them on ebay. I see similar pipes going for $150-200.Call or text Bill @ Fairly easy to install but if you don't want to do it yourself, my son is a motorcycle mechanic and will put them on for $50.
