    You're a better man than me for even attempting a repair on mufflers in that shape! Wow...

    I would guess years of riding salted roads in Canada?

    I believe those are the worst I've seen.

    And I just thought the troubles I had with my Maxim's exhaust were bad...
    Haha!

    Just goes to show ya...it can always be worse!

    No, bike sat for 25 years in someone's shed....7000 original miles when I bought it

      I can attest to the semi-gloss as well. had it recommended to me on this site and it's held up better than the original frame paint...

      Read the instructions on the VHT paint carefully though...it does require a "bake in" period and will not be chemically resistant as advertised if it is not. If you lay it down and bring the exhaust to full temperature for a long period of time without baking it in, the paint will peel and fail after awhile. Must need some time to "bond" or something.
      Not even the case with Duplicolor's high-temp aluminum..........spray and ride........now that's a new one.

          .....only when they follow the WHOLE thread, and not jump in with some off the wall rheteric that's unrelated.
