Hi all not sure if this is the right place for this please move if not. I have got myself an old twist and go to keep the miles down on the Midnight star ,the problem I have is the header pipe is starting to corrode ,I have tried to protect it by removing the loose rust and painting it with high temperature paint I have done this twice now and both times the paint has burnt off in a matter of days . The paint I used is Halfords own brand, am I doing something wrong ,Ive tried increasing the temperature gradually but it still burns of ,is there a better brand or is a downpipe just to hot for any paint. any suggestions appreciated . Cheers Dave

ok its me again.. just want to know if there are issues with opening out the exhaust port on the old rxs 100.. i see it seems to be narrow. I assume this is good for idle but sux for power. I also assume this is something lots of people here will have done. i plan on opening it out some so its closer to the round shape it should be. i dint want to touch the inside of the cylinder though. so is there a max size to use for best all round preformance, or just open it to the max ?

Hi all, It has been bugging me in the UK it is illegal to have a race can fitted to a bike. What is the difference between a race can and a road can and what makes a race can illegal?? I know this seems a simple question but didnt know if it was just the noise factor or something more?

Hi All, Perhaps you can help me out, just got the head back on and trying to attach the exhaust but all the old studs are knackered, but having real trouble getting some new ones as the bike is over 30 years old and no one seems to have any in stock , I was wondering if studs off of some thing else might fit , they are M6 studs so fairly standard size but the length has to be the same or slightly longer. Do any of you have an idea where the best place might be to get hold of some, I need 8 of couse plus the nuts. Thanks or any advice.

Can someone explain why I am having such a hard time finding a 4 into 2 exhaust replacement for my 83 XJ750M ? I've been to dozens of online stores and all I can find is 4 into 1. The only problem with the 83 Midnight Maxim I just bought is it needs a new exhaust. Is this why I got it so cheap? other than the exhaust it looks and runs like new.

I am getting ready to put new aftermarket exhaust (complete system) on my 2006 v star 1100 and I was wanting some input from the v star 1100 community or anyone with some knowledge of the subject. I am looking for deep sounding exhaust with high performance. I would also like an exhaust that is not inclines to blue as easily as others. Any suggestions, please feel free. Thanks.
