Exhaust look any better?
« on: April 01, 2006, 06:15:30 PM »
Scuffed up the rusty Kerker today and shot a coat of the 1500* header paint on it. Didnt make it in to town today to get the bolts to mount the Mac so I had to do this to make it look a little better. Would be nice to have a new chrome Kerker........but I figure black is better than rust.  ;D

I also got my aluminum rims cleaned up today.....will be taking them Monday for new rubber and taking the seat base to my father inlaw for him to do the seat cover. I guess it will be down for a week or so while he has the seat base. That will give me time to swap the exhaust and get the new wheels/tires mounted. The wheels cleaned up nice........cant wait to see them on the bike.  I'll probally also polish the lower fork legs while everything is apart.

Will post the "after" pics when all is done.

               KC, I gotta tell ya, that job you did on the old kerker sure did spruce it up. You have really
       turned that bike around. Anybody, who'd seen the before pictures and what it looks like now,
       would not believe that it was the same bike. Keep it coming guy.  Later on, Bill

Pipes look good.
Keep an eye on the header pipes, as they have a tendency to
make that "high-heat" paint flake off.
