j0ker, It looks good. I would still recommend the clear coat. I have wasted so much time the last year on polishing that stupid pipe of mine...but now that I have it clearcoated my maintenance on the pipe is almost none!
mxwilly, it isn't polished silvery like a platinum pipe, more like a wet kind of look. It looks like it has just been freshly oiled and polished, except better and all of the time!!!
I'll go take a photo so you can see. My bike isn't as perfectly cleaned as j0kers though...did you just get new plastics or something?
