Author Message   Rigman Posted on Monday, October 09, 2006 - 08:44 pm:        The more I ride my lightning, the less gold coloring I have on the headers. How do I get the original coloring back? Or can I?   Bads1 Posted on Monday, October 09, 2006 - 08:46 pm:          Bads1 Posted on Monday, October 09, 2006 - 08:48 pm:        Use paper towel to apply buff it off with soft terry clothe. It may take one or three applications but it'll be better then new.   Teddagreek Posted on Monday, October 09, 2006 - 10:38 pm:        I was visiting Triumphrat.. Some one was posting that limeaway works good on stainless.. FYI Don't use oven cleaner its a freakin mess..   Bodyshot1 Posted on Tuesday, October 10, 2006 - 10:43 am:        Bads..that'll work with the gold?..your pipes appear to be polished..   Brineusaf Posted on Tuesday, October 10, 2006 - 10:49 am:        The important thing to consider is which year the bike is. The newer models already have a "goldish" coating on them - for that... I have no idea. I sanded and polished mine.   Mesafirebolt Posted on Tuesday, October 10, 2006 - 03:33 pm:        Well, on mine about 50 miles after I polish, they are a polished gold for about another thousand, then I polish them again... All in all I keep the blueing away with the polish, THATS my main concern   Brineusaf Posted on Tuesday, October 10, 2006 - 05:01 pm:        mine still turn a goldish after awhile. I polish them every time i wash the bike. which seems to be very often...   Brineusaf Posted on Tuesday, October 10, 2006 - 05:03 pm:        Dana's bike still turns goldish... look the the bend by the 2-1... gold. It's inevitable... mine are going to jet-hot. haha   Bads1 Posted on Tuesday, October 10, 2006 - 06:04 pm:        Brine is right they will turn gold....they are in that pic above. What I find though is what you use as to how long it lasts. I polish about 4 times a year and it takes me 10 minutes each time. Eagle 1 seems to be the easiest and best of what is out there and I don't have to do it as much.   Cmm213 Posted on Tuesday, October 10, 2006 - 10:11 pm:        Mine are going to jet-hot this winter also!   Johnnylunchbox Posted on Tuesday, October 10, 2006 - 10:31 pm:        I have a nice coating of dirt and water spots. These cover up the bluing pipes nicely.   Birdmanrh Posted on Tuesday, October 10, 2006 - 11:01 pm:        I prefer HPC to Jet-Hot.   Jaimec Posted on Wednesday, October 11, 2006 - 08:54 am:        Unfortunately my pipes also have melted pieces of bike cover on them...   Darthane Posted on Wednesday, October 11, 2006 - 09:07 am:        LOL...yeah, my Firebolt cover's got a nice hole melted right at the tail end from where it brushed against my old headers one day. Personally, I always like the bluing, but my header has since been replaced with a black Jet-Hot coated one.   Kdan Posted on Wednesday, October 11, 2006 - 11:46 am:        I like the gold it matches my toof.   Buellman39 Posted on Wednesday, October 11, 2006 - 02:56 pm:        Do you only have one toof?
