rinehart problem

After a long winter of adding chrome and my rinehart true dual exhaust i finally got to take a spin on my bike yesterday. it has been in the garage all winter. I stopped by a few friends and noticed that my exhaust has turned gold behind the heat sheilds. i under stand that this is going to happen etc but i have a problem. the gold off the exhaust reflects on to my chrome inner primary and my chrome timer cover. The heat sheilds dont cover enough to hide it. I dont like the trex exhaust. Does any one have any suggestions how to hide this or a replacement heat sheild that will cover more. maybe a way to polish off the gold color. powder coat the exhaust etc. Who else has experienced this and what did you do about it. I am too dam picky i know.

RE: rinehart problem

Have you had your bike dyno tuned? That can help with the blue/gold pipes, but it will never go away alltogether.

RE: rinehart problem

it was dyno tuned with a sert. I did ride it for about 100 miles or so before it was tuned. I understand the reasons as to why they turn colors. was looking for a way to get rid of the reflection.

RE: rinehart problem

Its not a Rinehart problem, its a tune problem...that being saidtry Dri Wash' n Guard by DWG International, its a premium metal polish and it works like magic. I bought it at a dealer and its the best I've found for removeing the blue/gold from pipes. Good Luck

I had/have the same problem with their 2 into 1 system. I called them and they sent a replacement shield no cost.

RE: rinehart problem

I had the same problem.

I took my pipes off, removed the head shields. Painted the pipes with flat black hi temp header paint.
