A test with My CB-1 Photo.

Test. Just making sure the attachment works. This is my '89 CB-1 the day I bought it. I'll post more of it in it's current status very soon!

It has a 11,000 miles and a Kerker exhaust. It runs great, too. More on all that later.

Ok, here's some updated photos. I added a Givi windscreen. That worked out nicely. Notice those nice decals on the tail!

I painted the headers black. So much for the Kerker lifetime gaurantee on the finish. They started to rust. Looks much better now.

I took the Kerker muffler to the polish wheel the other day. It shined right up and looks real shiny now! I didn't take much work either.

I added the CBR900R rear shock yesterday. I'll give a ride report soon in the reviews section of the site.

FYI: Click the photos to enlarge them!

You may want to consider having the headers ceramic coated.  They can do it in a flat black, grey or polished silver.  Looks great, holds the heat in the pipe better and have far less rusting issues.

Great idea. Thanks for the tip!

Had my header pipe on the RC 51 done by Jet Hot in black. Cost me $150. One week turn around. Going to do the same thing with the new kerker this coming winter. The kerker by the way is stainless steel. A magnet will not stick to it.

the kerker header is a mild carbon steel.  hence, like your name, it gets rusty.  i had one too, sold it and had a stainless set made.  problem solved.

I know my kerker is stainless. a magnet WILL NOT stick to it. 300 series stainless will not rust, but 400 series stainless will . most headers made with 300 series is 304, 316. headers made with 409 WILL rust on the surface  , but not rust out. . have jba headers on my truck 8 yrs now. they are 409 stainless. rusted up real nice , not rusted thru

i stand corrected.  but the fact remains theyre a shitty grade of stainless
