From silver to black

[raydog]

When exposed to view(for my naked cafe racer Busa), I knew my silver radiator had to go. I talked to my friend that owns a radiator shop and he told me how to prep the radiator and what type of paint to use so cooling was not affected and to create a lasting shiny black surface. I think it came out real good! Also shown are the downpipes with new VHT coating. Doyle

Looks good, what type of paint did you use on the radiator?

It's by the VHT people....exhaust pipe stuff is 1200f and this stuff has ceramic particles/comes in GLOSS/and is 500f rated. It's on the Summit Racing e-catalog website. Doyle

Hey, Doyle no thoughts of a header ?

Hey, Doyle no thoughts of a header ?

I knew someone astute as you would ask about that! Actually what you see is an OEM unit that has been highly modified by Daniel (CloudNine Motorsports) to accept ONE M-4 muffler...the short black reverse cone shape (ala Nortons and Triumphs of yesteryear). You'll see soon, as soon as I get the "plumbing" done, the finished pipe will go on. Doyle
