    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • This forum is for placing reviews for parts, accessories, gear and service as it relates to your GS motorcycle. The key here is "GS Related". There is a bit of latitude here but we don't want to see a review on Maytag washers just because that's what you use to clean your riding jacket in.

    Keep your review as factual as possible and please refrain from personal attacks. Posted articles will be reviewed by the Editors and may be removed at their discretion.

    So let's make this a useful addition to the forum! A special pat on the back goes to Hap Call for coming up with this great idea.

"Blue Away"- for removing blueing on headers.

I tried this stuff. Works quickly and easily on removing the blue. It does'nt do much to remove any "golding". Maybe if I kept on rubbing it may have had more effect on the golding but I doubt it. It does'nt claim to remove golding. It does dull the chrome slightly. I followed it with some chrome polish, came out pretty good.
It did'nt make the header look like new but it was an obvious improvement. $12.95 (U.S.) for a 2.5 oz bottle. You don't use much, so you can do a lot of headers. Charge each of your buddies about $3 and you'll make a profit :twisted: :wink: .
On a scale of 1-10, I'd give it a 10 for removing the blue, an 8.5 for overall improvement.
 
Had me excited until you mentioned it dulls the chrome a bit. Not sure i want to risk that. I have been looking for a good product to remove the blueing and golding though.

Wont plain chome polish do it??
 
Scotty, I tried two brands of chrome polish. I rubbed like the dickens on one particular spot and it did'nt remove any blue or gold.
Hoomgar, it does'nt dull the chrome very much. Keep in mind the area you are treating is already discolored, even after the blue disappears. There's a slight reduction in shine but overall the headers look much better.

The blueing of the pipes is a natural occurance, why would you want to mess with nature....it looks OK to me.

Best way is to put on painted headers..repaint every few oil changes whatever colour takes your fancy. I have had blue and black so far..and that rusy colour if you can't be bothered for a while.

I have some really old and really good silver chrome polish and it will make it shine like the noon day sun Scotty but the discoloration basically stays. :( Other chrome polishes I have and have tried don't even come close to this stuff.
