Cleaning Dirt Bike Headers Question

[norton73]

Back on Bama Rides v1.0, there was a couple threads about cleaning header pipes Sanmax? was the name of the person that did the original post and that's what the process was called?

Working on the XT350 and want to clean these up before I put them back;

Got access to a bead blaster? Not sand blaster, that might be to strong.

His name was Sammax. Here's a link on another forum by Karla.

Thanks for the link.

I've got a blasting cabinet, but it's got walnut shells in it right now. I don't feel like changing it out.

I use a brass bristled brush and water on my dirt bike headers, works good.

Smitty908 and Moto Guzzi were the original posters for this technique on BR 1.0.

Bar Keepers Friend and water. Make a paste. Scrub with a scouring pad. Rinse.

Scotchbright pad with water and simple green took the dirt off, along with the paint. Ended up using a brass brush to clean the tight spots up.
Looks like I will be getting out the bbq paint.

Thanks for all the replies.

just an FYI for the future a buddy of mine does ceramic coating that's good to 1600 degree's said he'd do my entire zrx exhaust for 125. Might hold up better than BBQ paint

Sorry about your paint. I couldn't tell from the photo those were painted. I assumed they were stainless steel, which the brass brush works well on.
