Not sure if it would suit your purpose but in the cruiser world I believe they use muratic acid to "Wash" the bluing off. I guess I am kind of old school in that I think the bluing give the ride character

I like the blue. So I'm not worried about it.

Agreed... wrap is cool. High gloss silver ceramic would be PIMP!!!

But Marko... mucho better polished!!

Says the king of chrome :lol:

I agree though. If mine weren't semi hidden, they probably would have had the same treatment a while ago.

I hate hate hate the look of wrap and will never do it....regardless of whatever performance gains there are to be had.

I seriously need to do something with mine.
After an hour or so of riding, you can barely touch the frame...

That's what they say... My dad made a good point about it when we discussed it for my bike... "with the amount of riding you do, do you really thing any moisture is going to have time to build up?" Probably not.

Wrap 'em. After I did mine the frame stayed cool... as did my right leg... In fact, you could ride for 6 hours and reach down and grab the pipe bare handed... It was hot, but wouldn't burn you...

Apparently on the 1125 the fuel pump is known to cycle for up to 10 minutes after the bike is shut off to avoid such problem.
