DS650 Stainless Head pipe

This sounds like it could be a good unit, and the attention given by MBRP is excellent. Obviously if you have questions about how or what the finished product will be, MBRP will answer them, and fast!

 

looks like i had a good idea then

 

we i called mbrp friday i asked if they were going to make the head pipe and the lady who i talk to said that if there is enough interest in one then they might make one, so if you are interested let them know

 

actually i think ur right, i forgot all about that, but that does keep the stainless shine very long

 

The stock headpipes don't even come polished from the factory. If you want them to shine, you've got plenty of work to do, especially if you've had the bike for awhile.(Believe me it isn't easy, I tried)[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

ya, i shined mine and it doesn't look too great now,

 

I wonder if gun blueing would work? Nice shiney black pipes [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

3. How well does polished stainless keep it's luster when used as a head pipe? I've heard a lot of stories of guys with all different head pipes that looked great at first then after a single ride or two it started to look like trash. (Flaking, mis-coloration, rust etc..)

On mine the change in color goes from a bright polished look we all know to a goldish tint color that looks great to me and many others that comment on them. With Stainless there is no flaking or rust. Bluing can take place close to the head and proper jetting and tuning will minumize or eliminate that condition. The thinner metals will show temp more than the thicker stock pipes. The bright new look condition is easy to maintain with something like Mothers.
