Cibbersicks Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Right, ive got an Arrow titanium silencer on my 08 cbr600rr, the titanium link pipe had gone a loverly shade of purply blue. In a heavy cleaning session, i polished the pipe with autosol, and it came up lovely, but unfortunately the blueness has gone. I've probably done around 300 miles since and it hasn't blued up again, i just wondered if anyone knows why it wont come back, if at all. I know it sounds petty but it looked really cool!

IforB Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 It should come back, it's just an oxide layer that you've rubbed off. Eventually, as it is heated more and more, then the colour will change. The different colours are due to the temp differences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Ifor said, its the oxidisation layer: it will definetly blue up again when you get if hot enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 If you really must have the blue back without turning a wheel, get the old blow torch on the bugger, used to do it on the spannies of my RGV (mild steel). Careful you don't go red hot though cos you'll mess with the titanium. Jamie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
