    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...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Had these chromed stock pipes for a GS 850 redone in silver ceramic. Tolerates temps up to 1600 degrees, fraction of the cost of chroming and it looks fantastic. Very pleases with the results.

These pipes were a mess.

What was the condition before coating? I was told no go if any rust is apparent even after sand blasting.

TIA.
 
I had a set done local to me. They look great but are quite fragile. The coating tolerates heat nicely but not impacts.
 
I was thinking of having them ceramic coated but I don't like the final finish. Would prefer something smoother.

My understanding is that the finish can be color sanded and polished to a high sheen.
 
Mine were ceramic coated black by a local powder/ceramic coating company. I'll have to take a close up picture to see if it actually looks like that. Mine look pretty smooth to me with no sanding/polishing at all.
 
That silver ceramic looks nice.


Am about to get a new two stroke exhaust & was planning on nickel plating.
Anyone have a handle on durability of silver ceramic vs. nickel plating?
