Well remembered Kev The only problem was I had to find the photo's to post up again, as they were no longer being hosted.

I have now re-added the main photo's, I had to dig deep to find them

The main thing is you can get them shiny, but very shortly after running the bike they will turn a Goldie colour. I quite like it myself, but just so you know before hand. I find a wipe over with WD40 helps keeping them in that colour every now and again, when they are cold

Here's the link to how I did mine You can click or tap on the photo's to make it larger:

You could try the old copper wire trick once polished, I'm not sure if it will work on Stainless Steel, but worth a try if you prefer the shinier chrome look rather than the Goldie colour:

Been trying sandpaper, 120 this weekend. Rather rough, but got them shiny, but with some scratches. Im gonna buy 200 and 400 paper and as someone said here, use WD40 afther a ride.

At least you have made a start

Worth trying that copper wire trick if you want them to stay chrome like shiny,

Rob, you're right.
I did it on my Suzuki GSThou Piper 4 into1 pipe many moons ago although that was chromed, but as you say it certainly slows it down if not stopping it
