[QUOTE="Chris Launders, post: 101224, member: 2010"] Here's a handy tip if you don't want to blue your pipe, a friend used to do this on his HD and it works !! I used it on all my custom bikes. Buy some Sperex VHT exhaust paint (this had found worked the best, mind you it was 30 years ago). Block one end of the pipe with a potato and spray loads of the paint into the exhaust, keep sloshing it about until it's all sticking, leave it to dry, swap ends with the potato and repeat, do this a couple of times until the inside is well coated, it will give you a heat resistant barrier inside the pipe. The colour tune will give you an indication of the mixture instantly, whereas with the plug reading you will have to run it at a constant speed and load it "colour" the plug. [/QUOTE]
