Although I'd like a black ceramic coating, I can't find anyone who would do it in Spain. I've found a workshop in Madrid but they say I would have to take the headers appart and send them to them, so they would send them to the UK -it seems like not many companies offer this service-. I'd rather send them myself, and anyway it's to cumbersome... and I'd be at leat 3 weeks without the bike.
When/if the exhaust fails, I'll try to replace it with a black ceramic coated one.
Meanwhile, I've spent less than 15 minutes (with very poor lighting, so no detailing
) taking off most of the rust. What's worked best has been tin-foil. Then I've applied cleaning vinegar with a rug (to degrease), and then some domestic metal cleaner.
Not bad for the time I've spent on it. As long as it won't develop a mechanical problem, I am not that crazy about having the bike "exposition clean".
