I LOVE IT!! This really completes the look of the bike in case you have to leave the stock pipe on. I was actually impressed with how well it looks on the bike. Now the real test of durability after thousands of miles.... Attachment (5) < Message edited by WoodyRR -- 4/9/2008 11:20:56 AM > (in reply to specializedfuji) Post #: 17

If anybody needs help with it, PM or email me. Oh, and I almost forgot. I went through an entire can of this stuff. I ended up buying a second one to have on hand in case I have to touch up. This way it's on hand. Rattle away my friends, rattle away. I'm going to wait with patience to see if somebody buys the WHITE colored spray...I was thinking about doing it, but figured it'd show dirt/carbon like a mother... *Attachment pics are already posted on the above post.

RE: $6 custom slip-on - 4/10/2008 7:57:44 PM    be vertical Posts: 618 Joined: 8/21/2007 Status: offline I think that looks awesome. You took something ugly and stock and made it look fresh. +1 for creativity, cause at the end of the day that is what will set you aside. A few hours after reading the first part of this thread I was changing the oil on my bike and realized that I did not want to put the heat shield (the one behind the ride side rear-set) anymore, that and I have new rearsets in the mail, and I do not think they support the heat shield. So I took a page from the Woody book (not like that). I taped her up, went to the store and grabbed some high temp rattle can, and sprayed up the midpipe from about midcenter below the engine to where my slip on bolts up. I did not like the unfinished steel look. Thanks for the ideal and good looks on the art. _____________________________ On the black wind forever we ride on together destroying your evil with freedom our guide. 07 600RR ...O^o'''''''''''''''' (in reply to PlayfulGod) Post #: 24

I'm not sure if I want to be the author of that one! Anyway, glad to know I inspired some of the custom look on your bike. It's so easy and looks so great when done that everybody should be doing this if they have any exposed stock pipe or can showing. (in reply to be vertical) Post #: 25

RE: $6 custom slip-on - 4/25/2008 4:33:20 PM    WoodyRR Posts: 382 Joined: 5/1/2007 From: NW suburb, IL Status: offline Well, it actually has held up very well. I've put on about 800 miles since doing this. All dirt, grease/grime wipes right off with a wet rag. I haven't even had to Honda Polish it yet!! The outlet tip is faded just a tiny bit, but otherwise, all looks like it did the day I put it on. Still waiting to see how well it'll hold up through the rest of the season.
