Argh!!! :guns: My first scratch. :x :o
Wheeling the bike out of the garage this morning for work I accidentally just grazed the wall with the tailpipe. I now have a small, dime-sized scratch at the leading edge of the muffler, right where the polished, shiny metal cover meets the flat black of the rest of the exhaust. Damnit. :oops:
I'm not *that* anal about things like this, but I don't want my whole muffler to rust off now ;) . I don't know if I can buff it out, but it feels deep enough that buffing won't work. Is there a way to repair the scratch, should I even worry about it? Should I do anything to seal up the scuffed metal? The metal piece almost looks like it bolts onto the muffler - can you buy replacement polished metal shields?
No I think they are spot welded to the cannister.
Call it "character".
Yur bike is doomed for the scrap yard!! Rust and oxidation will turn your bike into a rusted mangle of cheap scrap metal. hehe :lol:
