    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Hi guys,
This is nothing special, but i saw some exhausts i couldnt afford and decided to clean mine up, it may give someone else the same inspiration?

Anyway, Before (i pulled off i bit of header tape to show underneath)

After

I have a different can coming, so i will upload a pic after i put it on the bike.
 
What did you paint that with?? I've not been able to find a paint that will handle headed temps that has a gloss to it.
 
We will see if the paint holds up.
It is black high temp followed by clear high temp.
It worked on another bike, should work on this i hope?

Well I hope it does. I was an idiot once and thought simple 500 degree F paint would hold up on an exhaust. Yeah...uh... No. Soon as I fired the bike it went up in smoke. And the 1500-2000 degree stuff isn't shiny at all.

If it works, mayhaps I could talk you into sending a seppo buddy a few cans? ;) hahaha
 
I'll let you know?
Its all rated for engines and headers, and as i said it worked on another bike i did with a mate.
 
Those headers look great - nice work. I hope they work as well, seems like you're pretty confident they will, which is great. We'll be watching to find out what the product is, and if we can get it over here. I've got a few sets of exhausts I'd like to do the same with.

So not being a painter, what little I do know is 90% of the work is preparing the surface - what did you do there?
