Discolored pipes

Not so but Semichrome is not the answer. Semichrome will shine your pipes back up but the first time you ride it they will be bronze again. Real chrome will "rainbow" near the engine where the pipes get hottest. The answer is Jet-Hot polished finish. My 2013 CB1100 header has had this finish for a year and countless rides and they are still a bright shiny silver that looks like chrome or polished stainless. This is the only lasting solution to bronze pipes. Cheers.
