black pipes?

[shee_rider_4_ever]

is it possible to polish the black off of them or can u not do this?

i think that the black is kinda ugly and want a change

The stock Yamaha pipes? I'm sure you can, since they are steel. But how are you going to protect them from rusting? Chrome plating? Intead of wasting time and money, why don't you just buy aftermarket? You'll probably have more money tied up into polishing those, than you would buying some. And, on the plus side, they would be more for performance, sound better, and when it's all said and done, probably look better.

I would think it would look good in black. post a pic, maybe somone will trade. I really don't like chrome, i would rather have black.

Black is the new bling, been running black pipes for years & prefer over chrome.

I doubt you can polish the sheet metal & keep it shiny. Here's the bare meta & finish.

 

[i would actually like to run bare pipes if I could.]

I don't know i just like shiney things but everyone has there own opinion

[nayr742003]

Im not really a big fan of chrome or shinny things but then again there are some reallybad ass looking bikes on here(kaos got a sweet one with alot of shinneyies) but as for black goes i like it alot i dont like to wash my bike after every ride so it makes it easier for me. basically its all in what you want you van polish chrome or paint them any freakin color yeah thats it maybe we can start a new trend paint them some wild color and see if it catches on to other riders

i love black

Chrome won't get you home, but it sure as hell will get you laid. In other words it doesn't help performance, but the girls seem to like it.

thats because it doubles as a mirror for makeup application

Ha haa.. I couldn't run chrome pipes, I have nothing to compliment them. + My top end is all matte black, went for that stealth look [stock look :biggrin: ], and most seem to thing so when I pull up to the line.. but that's a diff story top of the hill. :biggrin:

[shee_rider_4_ever]

sorry i havn't been near a computer the last few days.. i will post some pics of the pipes later on sometime today and maybe someone would like to trade or something for a set of chrome ones.

if you had cpi's i would have traded you my chrome cpi's for your blacks. im not really into the toomey pipes. stick with the black look and try to get other black pieces or powdercoat some stuff black shouldnt look bad.
