Is there any way to get the gold tent off my headers and pipe?
reio it takes no time at all for them to discolor again.. how many miles do you have from new? it takes less than that :thumbup: full fairings may work but belly pan....no when i get some spare cash I am going to look into ceramic coating, obviosly black. but after i wash and wax and detail and i stand back and admire... those gold pipes stick out like a sore thumb!
I'm about 840 miles in and if it won't last that long compared to what it takes to clean them i probably won't bother, but to each their own, maybe I'll do it once just to take pictures.
'08 here and while new, it's starting to show a golden hue to it with bluish up near the heads...
I just got done looking at a bunch of 2007 and 2008 FZ6 pictures only to find the new pipes are no longer gold. Rather, they look to be chrome but I doubt this is the case as to me it would be unlikely that Yamaha plated the headers.
When you folks say the pipes are discoloring, are they bluing or is it some other form of discoloration?
