    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.

Exhaust to head clamps?

The standard finned ex to head clamps on my 78 GS750E were new when i rebuilt the bike around four years ago. Now the chrome is showing rust patches. I think the chrome on these is not very thick, as the heat would cause flaking if it was.

I just wondered if there are any after market stainless versions of these clamps anyone know of? Maybe some custom types are available?

Thanks.

Soak in Evapo Rust or similar, hit them with a stainless steel wire brush to clean the metal after derusting, and follow that with clear high temp header paint?

Thanks for the suggestions.

It supprises me that there doesn't seem to be an after market custom clamp. When i was a youth, a few companies did these clamps for Triumphs BSA's etc.
