Can you get a really fine grad sand paper and sand it down a little. The color just looks horible.

 

Hey guy send that thing in to jet hot there in chandler look them up and let them coat your header and it will look awsome!!!it will also help with heat too.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

I kinda like the golden color mine has taken on over the past 80 hours of ride time. It matches the gold of my Yoshimura tailpipe too. I have seen several that look like crap though - blue, purple, etc., must be the fuel/air mix I guess.
I never have to do anything more than take a rag to mine.

 

The head pipe is Stainles and can be polished very brite. Mine starts turning a goldish color after a couple rides but stays nice looking for a while.

 

I did as AZ Sand recommended and sent it into Jet-Hot. They only charged me $20.00. I'm acually thinging of doing the whole pipe now. It almost has a chrome look to it now.

 

Does anyone have the contact info for Jet-Hot? How much is shipping on the header pipe? Is it a ceramic coating they're putting on? I heard of a couple of people that had it done and it flaked off, however, if these guys can do it well enough so that it stays nice I'm there in a heartbeat. Well, as long as UPS/FedEx takes actually.

I don't beleive it, there is a JET-HOT about a hour from me. I didn't think MS had anything thing in it I would ever use, I'm impressed. I might give it a try.

 

You guys have had your stock headpipe coated? Do they take it apart when the coat it or just coat over the joint?

 

I suggest complete disassembly prior to sending it. Coat both head pipes, the mid pipe, and your tailpipe if it can be disconnected from the muffler. have them done inside and out - the coating on the inside too greatly helps dissipate heat and lowers head temperatures, according to recent studies published in dirtbike mags about it.
Oh, and don't forget to order new gaskets from Bomb while its being coated. Replace all three, because if one leaks after you get it all back together, you'll be wishing you had. The big gasket that goes around the headpipe that detaches from the midpipe can be a real pain to not damage.

I even think the stock heatshield looks good coated as well, and might as well do that clamp too, and how about the three prings...just use a spring tool for re-installation so pliers don't scar them all up.
