I'm thinking of getting my header Jet-Hot coated on my XB and want to know how those that have done this like it. Keep the heat down? Got any pics? What did you pay? Thanks! |

Yeah got mine done. Like it a lot looks much better than standard. Not sure If It's made any difference heat wise. Done In the U.K. so not much point posting a price. Norrie. |

I got mine done locally and paid $105.00. It is suppose to drop the temp 175 degrees. I love the look as it matches my forks. |

Got mine done. One of the best mods I've done. Greatly improves the look. Sorry, no pics. Never Give Up! |

brian, whats up! have you fixed the bike or are you movin on and if so on to what? i heard bmc wasn't too helpful even though it is probably a defective case causing a misalignment. |

I had the header tubes for my Micron system Jet-Hot coated. Cost was a little over $100 with a discount. I work about 5 minutes from the Pascagoula, MS. location.

Maybe LoneXB can confirm my experience... Avoid the flat black; it causes a huge increase in radiated heat. My experience was with a '97 M2. |

mike to answer your question. if you need any parts that are black, pm me. i have moved on to a husqvarna sm 610. until my 1098 comes in. should be september. back on topic, as to the header causing a huge increase in radiated heat. i never noticed it. YMMV. brian |

I had one set done by JetHot and one by HPC. HPS cost less, did a much better job and oh yeah, the JetHot looked like crap after a month. |

As you know, black radiates heat better than other colors, but the coatings are also supposed to be thermal barriers (at least some of them.) It's supposed to reduce temprature and radiated heat. |

On mine I paid $20 more to get the inside coated. Bike is still not together yet. but they look great! |

brian, will be very curious of your impressions of the 1098! the husky's are cool. i still love my xr650 after 12 years, it will never be sold (except maybe for an aprillia rxv!). if your ever lookin to do a little dual-sportin let me know. |

I had the Exhaust (both headers and muffler) Jet-Hot coated Black on my Uly. Haven't noticed any increase in the amount of heat radiated; then again I haven't noticed any decrease, either. It sure does look a lot nicer, though. |

Cool, thanks guys, I think I'll definitely get this done - probably wait until this winter though - it'd be my luck a good ride comes up and I have the bike apart!!! |
