    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Ceramic Coat?

Mark, That looks really good, however I was thinking of the silver color.
 
I had my pipes coated back in 1999 (inside and outside). They are still holding there shine since I had them coated.

My particular header is the "Pro Competition" model from Vance & Hines. The front half of this pipe is sent out in raw steal from the vendor since it is used for racing, owners then decide what finnish they want to go for. The back part (megaphone) of the header is made up of polished aluminum.

If you take a look at the picture below the engine clutch basket, that's where the two types of materials meet. The company that coated my header was able to do a smooth match with the polished aluminum back half.

I have not had any problems with my coating...Love it!

Hope this helps?

That's the color I'm looking for. I'm not a big fan of the sidewinder exhaust, but that finish looks simply awsome
 
Can you provide another picture of how it looks after using it on the bike for a while? I was wondering how good the paint looks.
