[QUOTE="Albervin, post: 123571, member: 586"] The details I have received indicate that coating S/S pipes is a bit fraught and not entirely satisfactory . Coating chromed mild steel pipes can be very beneficial. In the end I suppose the "look" and the use of the bike are not really complementary. To get a perfect fuel mixture on both cylinders is a dark art and the front exhaust has a very poor air flow for cooling. So I am going with the flow and just ride the bike. The problem here in Australia is finding pipes that fit and in the format you want without taking out a mortgage on the house. It is totally pointless buying pipes from the UK unless you have a guarantee that they are quality chrome AND fit with a FREE return postage if neither is true. [/QUOTE]
