You can use a heat gun to reduce the stress mark... some stress marks will go away all together depending on how small they are...

Yeah, It proves you aint afraid to ride hard, and that you aint afarid to get back on and do it again!

I left mine cracked for a couple years until i took on some mud and it rested on my exhaust!
