Looks very nice, but won't the heat / expansion / contraction cause the chrome to flake off pretty quick?

I payed 25€ here in germany for chrome, but a friend of me works there.
A lot of other motorcycles have a chromed one too.
Because of the snow i drived only 50 mls after the chroming in december :roll:
All my other motorcycles had a chrome downpipe, max. I think it becomes a little bit blue on the cylinder...

I quite like the blue effect on exhausts................much better than the rusty look :D

Near Cologne, Dieter? We weren't far from there last year for our holiday. Stayed at Wissen.

I live near Aachen. It's where the 3 countrys Holland, Belgium, and Germany get together. Cologne is about 70 kilometers far away, i thougt that you in england know that better...

Greetings from snowy germany!
