hmmm...dirty????? thank god mine is a black engine, can't see the dirt lol ;D does look good after a few miles... read a few U.S articles on jetcoat but wanted Aussie responses as things are a little different here sometimes and some of the things they do don't like our tropic heat and moisture. Just don't like the time frame of approx 2-3 week turn around. Give me a call when your comming through Bryan and I'll meet up with you if you like :)

Was at the xs650 agm meeting the other weekend,one member there had his f-hub done in the silver had to put my glasses on to tell the difference between polished alloy an paint :o thought then ill do the headers on the xs11 with it,the cost if he was right cheaper then chrome by a longshot. choot ;)

Yeah cost is pretty good
