    Exhaust bolt collars (clamp) – how to clean?

    Exhaust bolt collars (clamp) – how to clean?

    What are these things made of?

    What cleaning would work on this?

    1981 GS750L - Owned since 1990 when graduated high school and since have been discovering all the things not disclosed by seller.
    1983 GS750E - bought in 2016 as a rough runner to use while rebuilding 81L and then to combine with ES to make one good one
    1983 GS750ES - bought in Toronto in 2015 on a lark as a non-runner, missing front cowling and exhaust - If you have a 1983 750ES front cowling let me know! Blue would be nice

    They are made from chrome plated cast steel. The metal was quite porous and the chrome often rusts. EvapoRust and a stainless steel wire brush will help, but with that much damage, there is only so much you can do. After clean up I'd hit them with some clear header paint. Not sure the paint will last, but won't hurt.
