Hi Rich,
Where can I get a pack of that elbow grease?? This system is mint not a scratch or spot of rust on it but as Paul M said the silencers had extra baffles in them as it was a swiss reg bike blue from front to back!!!
Nearly there now should Of done it on the wheel I guess,
It had been stood for 27 years it's now running like a swiss watch lovely bike still got the original suppliers sticker on the front mudguard, got the wheels back in today looking forward to a road test now, I will ring you in the week mate.

One thing I would try is to keep the header from getting too hot. The bluing will only return unless something is done.

I have not used it but I find it an interesting application of ceramic coating that is designed for home workshop use.
I would be interested to get any feedback from those that have experience with the product.

Rod,
Used a similar product many years ago when restoring my GTL. Product came as powder and was mixed with water, poured into the headers and swilled around. Left to dry and cured once the engine heated things up. Pipes only started to blue slightly after about 3 years of intense use instead of the more usual 3 minutes...
After 19 years, the pipes now have a nice, used-but-not-abused patina with the chrome still intact.

of the various products, I think this stuff works the best. A little pricey, but it actually works.

once you get the header pipes as good as they are going to get, have them internally ceramic coated, or at the very least spray some high heat resistant paint inside them.
