Topic: Exhaust condition help

[Paul]

What can I do with this.......
Everybody admires the bike when I take it out until they see the exhaust.
It's rusted flaky nearly all around. It's solid but looks s**t
The conversation changes from all the good things to just the exhaust.
(I'm not changing it.....I can't justify the cost)
Any suggestions.??

[Bob Wessner]

Are these the only spots? No rust through? Might try some rust conversion product then some high temp silver paint to make it less noticable.

Here's how to justify it:
NOS from DSS at about £80 each - that's £4 per year for the next 20 years assuming you look after them...

Ok....I'll need 4 (One new shin-ier one would look out of place)
£79.00 each..
£316.00 + Vat + Carriage App £400 Convert to Euro € 584.00 

Thanks Steve....Send me your bank for the direct debit and I'll give you  an even £5 a year.

Wire brush and silver smoothrite. Will stink till it cures but should hidw the brown bit. Only other way is Motad or Marshal 4 into 1 but then you pay over half of the standard system and i know which i prefer!
