Hey Fellas,
I have an '02 R1105R that I bought used about 4 months ago. In the process of making it "MY" bike, I started fiddling with the idea of chroming the headers. There was a lot of surface corrosion on the headers as well as some light pitting by the cylinder heads, but I cleaned that up. The problem is that in sanding off the rust, the stainless is, well, less than shiny.
Would chroming the headers be a decent idea? The removal seems pretty simple. My biggest question would be how bad would the bluing be? After sanding the headers a week ago, they have already turned a nice purple in places. Opinions?
