Title: Matching slip on to stock header
Post by: AnonRider on January 12, 2014, 03:39:27 PM
I'm starting a long process of making my bike look flawless.

The thing is that the headers are fine (albeit a bit of surface rust which will be taken care of) the current exhaust can has a huge hole in it which is unsightly- I would like to get a slip on to cure this issue but i can't find any which will match the black header.

The last thing I want is for this thing to look like a cut and pasted bike.

So, what do i do here?

Wire wheels are... basically round spinny things with wires attached to them. Some are for mounting in drills, angle grinders... etc. They're pretty good at stripping paint off of metal quickly and easily.
