Header Polish Challenge!

[Nachodaddy]

I wonder what effect I could get by coating the original stainless headers with gun blue and oil and then getting them really hot. Would look better on a black bike, I think.

Hey Nach, were you thinking of going through with this experiment? Maybe even an inconspicuous test spot?

Hey Nach, were you thinking of going through with this experiment? Maybe even an inconspicuous test spot? GO, I don't think so. I like my bright tubes. Matter of fact, I need to get busy with the polish while I can.

lol - "bright tubes".

The stainless steel can certainly be polished up to appear brilliant chrome. Of course, after the next ride they will be a perfect 8 or 10K gold hue.

Yeah, but once they're brilliant chrome, it just takes a little wipe after a few rides to go from gold back to chrome. Maybe I'm OCD...

Never let it be said, Gone.

hot tip for anybody looking to win at this: get yourself a bottle of Optiglanz. it's a scary caustic chemical but all you have to do is spritz it all over the pipes, let them sit a bit, then thoroughly flush with water and dry off. follow up with your favorite Mothers and Neverdul polish and you're in showroom condition right away.
