With all the time, money, and effort put into restoring these bikes, is it not worth the extra couple buck to do a high quality ceramic coating on this little part? Hot rodders and racers have been using ceramic coatings for years to reduce under hood temps and prolong the life of exhaust components. That and you can get it in different finishes (imagine a faux chrome) that will not fade and crack like BBQ paint. I have read all about the design issues Suzuki ran into with the intense heat the rotary puts out, it only makes sense to ceramic coat the first thing the exhaust hits. Would even be nice to ceramic coat the inside of the exhaust pipes. Hmmmm.. (light bulb goes on) I have had this done to my exhaust manifold and also ceramic coated my exhaust as they were in very poor condition. They came out pretty good and with a bit of chrome polish it comes out pretty dam good! I dont have any idea if it has dropped the temps alot being that its bloody hot already. Any hot rod ceramic place will be able to coat the inside and out of hte manifold for you for about $50 AUD

I just got my little mani back from the local ceramic coaters.........
Charged me $50 (that's the minimum charge for any job at the shop)
It -is - BEAUTIFUL!
Yes - 'faux chrome' finnish inside and out ...better than new looking!
With all the performance benefits (temp resistant, hard wearing, long lasting luster...)
A bargain!
Ps - how do i post a piccy of it here?
(Exhaust headers are back from the metal polishers too...*wink*
