2016 R1200Rt Exhaust pipe blueing

I thought all pipes blued? Some of the bikes have a clamp on chrome shield to hide the blued pipe underneath. I never minded the bluing. I preferred it to the melted plastic after I hit the black plastic bag which be came "fused for life" to the pipes on a Honda I had. :eek

I used ACF-50 on my 2015 R1200GS from new and the pipes still look like new. They aren't exactly chrome, but ACF-50 may delay or stop bluing on chrome pipes. Might be worth a try.

update: Was at the dealer and they looked at it ran diagnostics and checked the intake all was good :)so I cleaned them up using "Blue Away" and some steel wool they look pretty good now but when they start to blue again hopefully it will be more even between sides.

oh ya, I like to ride more than cleaning/polishing but I want it to look clean and new.:thumb
