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  thought then ill do the headers on the xs11 with it,the cost if he was right cheaper then chrome by a longshot. choot

hmmm...dirty?? thank god mine is a black engine, can't see the dirt lol 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
