DID ZVM_X Chains - Houtman_imp - 03-08-2021

A while ago I put the DID ZVM_X chains on my bike in the silver version , they also have a gold one and just recently brought one out in black called the Raven Edition .
They are great chains and for some one whom likes to " black out" his bike it would be a great option.

Thanks for the tip, Houtman! I am working on this "blacking-out" of my CB, and I can see doing just that when the time has come to replace my chain.

My chain is black, although I'm pretty sure it was silver when it was new.

Sounds like my headers. Confused

I really do not wish to create a thread topic distraction, however I have to ask fellow members:

When it comes to stainless steel headers (and shiny metal drive chains), what is more desirable:

* A shiny, clean header that needs to be maintained?

* Or a stainless steel header that has been nicely seasoned to essentially uniform dark brown or black and will never need polishing?


RE: DID ZVM_X Chains - Houtman_imp - 03-08-2021

The stainless steel header on my Moriwaki 4 into 4 is a nice "golden" colour and I do not have to polish it at all , just remove some road grime.

Houtman, you're teasing us with your Moriwaki, prove it = pics. Smile


RE: DID ZVM_X Chains - Lord Popgun - 03-08-2021

Well GO, I guess it depends on which look you like and how much work you want to do Smile

Peter , still not good with posting pictures , when InhouseBob tried to teach me how to do this my wife was not home and it was like teaching a monkey how to repair a watch ! We all live in hope that one day we are able to do this but for now we are waiting for a miracle !
