Go Titanium
I had the headers on my V7 Cerakoted at this place in NJ.http://www.gsdcoatings.com/cmsms/index.php?page=exhaustThey have many colors from Glacier Black (mine) to a chrome color. Not very expensive, and you may have a similar shop local to you. Mine have been holding up great, and pretty much look like they day they were coated.
Brian,You and I are the exact opposite. I buy a guzzi and run the dog out of it. Still have the original Ambo 220k. Two cal 11's 105K and 146K. I did sell the Cal 111 with 144K. Three 98 EV's with a quarter million miles. POS B1200, maybe 50K and many others.Trucks 77 GMC and 82 Chev.Women..No comment.Tex
:1: absolutely. What is it with you yanks and black or silver coated headers? Its not some 32 Ford flat head hot rod for goodness sake. Heat discolored headers are like nice non dressed TIG welds to us engineering types especially on TI headers.Let the unvarnished truth be told, they are headers, they get hot and look cool. Embrace the look and lets stop sooking about blued chrome and such. Ciao
Is the titanium exhaust substantially a better thing than the stock set up? I do like the high pipe, it's a bit like the one on my Norge. Is that a mandrel bend linking the headers to the muffler ?
Get the bike tuned up proper then visit the folks over at grisoghetto.com; they have maps that work out a bit better for the Griso (you'll need a laptop, Windows, Mac or Linux). Highly recommended; makes lower speed handling much nicer and the bike pulls from the basement when it did not before (goal of the new map, better mileage, better manners in the lower rpm range, not over all hp, which it does very well).My pipes turned a nice warm color, goes well with the brown seat and green tank. The black on the pictured bike is not to my tastes so it gets a big "Meh". My CB1100's pipes turned a similar color but added in dark dark brown stripes where it appears stresses appeared in the pipe bending process. Like age spots, these are much less endearing. And I'm having problems getting rid of them. The biggest problem I have with my Griso pipes are things getting melted against them.Stelvio hand guards will fit the Griso and that is the route I took. I've added the Bike Master heated grips (I prefer heated glove liners, but if you left them at home....... :D ).
Brian, got your V7 from Craig. Hope it doesn't hurt your feelings but I put a bit larger fairing/windshield on it as I like more wind protection when I do 600 plus mile days and dodging rain drops. Riding to Atlanta to for MotoAmerica at Road Atlanta, doing Corner work (Flagging) and tent camping. First trip on the V7. Next weekend I will be riding to Birmingham, Volunteering at Barbers Motorsports for the Honda Indy car races, again tent camping. For sure this V7 has a good new home and wont be a garage queen! Post photos later. dofin
Want. Problem is I only got an ipad these days. Is the maps thing something a dealer could feasibly do?
Oh yeah....black pipes! Looking good! For a while there, I thought you were going to color code them to the red on the tank!
Looks good.
