BMW R65ls Collector Plate
« on: April 29, 2019, 11:35:59 AM »
I took photos last week to apply for a collector plate.  When the side photos were printed, the rusty exhaust pipes looked way worse than this photo,



I decided the pipes needed some sprucing up.   They did not come off easily.  There are connector tubes which have fused.  I used lots of penetrating solvent, heat and a rubber mallet.  They would not come apart.



I eventually had to lift of the rear of the bike to get them off around the centre stand.





I painted the headers in flat black high temp paint, and the mufflers is cheap gloss black.



Peace & paint, Dennis
