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? |

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. |

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. |

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 |

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. |

I have a nice coating of dirt and water spots. These cover up the bluing pipes nicely. |

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. |
