Banshee802 Posted September 18, 2018 Author Report Posted September 18, 2018 Lots of timeSent from my LG-H831 using TapatalkDamn bro that looks awesome! I’ll give it a shot. Just used tin foil and water you said? Anything else to scrape off the deep rust? Are Fmfs chrome? Or just aluminumSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Canadianshee Posted September 18, 2018 Report Posted September 18, 2018 Big hand full of foil soaked in water and scrub. Keep dipping foil in water. When foil breaks down get more. I went through a 15 foot roll of foil. Then moved on to rubbing compound with a drill. Very labour intensive but it tuns out well.Sent from my LG-H831 using Tapatalk Quote
Canadianshee Posted September 18, 2018 Report Posted September 18, 2018 Fatties were chromed, which was all gone close to the cylinder head.Sent from my LG-H831 using Tapatalk Quote
SandSlingerOR Posted October 23, 2018 Report Posted October 23, 2018 (edited) Might have missed it but will the tinfoil scrape off the rest of chrome I might have left on pipe? I got a rusty exhaust with some chrome left on lower section. Edited October 23, 2018 by SandSlingerOR Quote
Ayesully810 Posted October 23, 2018 Report Posted October 23, 2018 I did some polishing with wet dry sand paper, started at like 500,800,1000,1500. Then cleaned with steel whool and polished with mothers. prolly cost more with material but turned out good and didnt take super long Quote
Canadianshee Posted October 23, 2018 Report Posted October 23, 2018 Wonder how the op made out. I dont think i would do it again though.Anyone know if chrome shops would redip used pipes.?Sent from my LG-H873 using Tapatalk 1 Quote
ride.race.live Posted October 23, 2018 Report Posted October 23, 2018 There's a chroming place in Montreal I was in touch with a few years back for my shearers and they where willing to do them even when used. Wasnt cheap though Quote

Only thing I’ve done to the bike so far is delete coolant overflow bottle. Tried soaking rusty toomey stingers in clr and it cleaned them up a little. Haven’t touched headers or paint yet.

Wasnt cheap though I will try to check to see if they are still around. Nothing seems to be cheap anymore. 22 hours ago, Banshee802 said: Made pretty much no progress .
