So instead of going through with the 75$ charge for this local shop to ceramic coat my downpipes black - I did a little research, found, and bought a can of Dupli-Color Engine Enamel Flat Black High Temperature Ceramic Paint - whew that was a mouthful. This cost me 12$ and and is the same paint my mother's boyfriend used to paint his downpipes, and they look amazing.
So I am at the point where I need a tire and can't ride anyway, so I figure I'll take advantage of the down time to paint my pipes. Upon inspecting how they're fastened, I see 2 bolts holding a bracket - one for each downpipe - in total of 8. On the other end there are 2 bolts holding where they merge into 1. It appears that only those 10 bolts are holding on the downpipes - so is there anything I should be aware of as far as removing or reconnecting them, before i go through with it. It seems pretty clear cut and simple...but nothing ever is.
Thanks in advance for any advice, it is certainly appreciated.
