here it is on the bike :)

Thanks LJ , they came out good too man

bike has been down so i have been lurking on and off for a while. i didnt ride the last few months because of a flat. im gonna be putting on a new set come spring so ill be covered.

i also want to repaint. unsure of a color combo id enjoy.

Nothing like winter to get these jobs done tho' eh ?

Yu thinking stock paint scheme or custom ??

nothing stock. it would be simple, probably one color. you can always accent with decals.

Header pipes are the worst bloody thing on bikes that look crap after a very short while ...
Both the sets above look bloody great (and I wish mine looked so good :-(

but the reality is that if you take those great looking pipes out in trashy weather , they come back stained from mud and dirt in a flash ....
It's rather depressing really how quick they go down hill ....

After copious amounts of resprays and even re chroming on quite a few bikes , I just look at my herders and go ... **** you ...stay bloody dirty and stained !! because I am done with trying to keep you guys looking good ... LOL

but hey ... kudos to anyone that still fights that battle ....:icon_wink:

hi guys for the prep work did u use high heat primer and after high heat clear? If yes were to get it?


Thanks!

My plan Carl is just multiple coats of flat matt high heat paint every now and then .
