How well is it running now? Not idle but balls out.

Actually looks great. I agree with ceramic coating also.

and they do have ceramic coating that will allow you to keep the rawness look and still dissipate heat. Love the way it looks depending on taste id go two ways, either a ceramic coat it black due to the color of the bike, or fork over the cash and get that bad boy polished. That all depends if you want to bring more attention to the fact that its got no cans, but either way great look i love seeing things that are different.

Thank you to the few people who have provided kind words.... How the hell did you get a picture of my Mustang??

You gotta do a tail chop that just kills the look

Like the pipes ..but curious as to the sound , I think you will need some kind of baffle

Don't like the plate location to sport bikeish

I like the pipe wrap idea or try the mop'n'glow coating to give it that raw look

Yes Mop'n'Glow us old 2 stroke guys who fab expansion chambers use mop'n'glow on raw pipes . This keeps the pipes from degrading in looks .

First take your raw pipes wash down with a product like acrosol or any other cleaner wax stripper

hang pipes coat with mop'n'glow

let dry ..second coat ..third coat

install pipes

couldn't help myself, had to google mop n glo. found this, complete with photo - http://www.caferacer.net/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=13498

more good info on painting pipes - http://scooterrebels.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=2strokescooters&action=print&thread=1408

sticking an oxy torch in one end always helps with the bake.

wonder if mop n glo would work on a unpainted steel fuel tank?

ute · March 24, 2012, 04:35:30 PM

Bingo ..looks amazing eh

Not sure about the steel tank , I think the heat activates the mop'n'glo
