You guys are scareing me. You can see current pictures of mine here: https://www.kawasakiforums.com/m_106237/tm.htm

My pipe is about 9 months old and so far its okay. But there seems to be quite a few that aren't.
Oh, BTW No Mother's has been used on mine.

Yeah, but if youplayed inmud holeswith EMS all the time I bet it would look different. Forget the Mother's, you need to re-apply the glaze and fire it in a kiln every so often[sm=lildevil.gif]

Thats the truth too.... i probably have better than 3500 miles through my pipe... and its not lookin so hot.... im just wondering whats under the ceramic coating, if its gonna start rusting.... ill be pissed.

I had my bike out in the snow yesterday. We got 3 inches on top of the 2 inches we already had, i was in the street doing donuts... the neighbors shoveling thier driveways were all staring at me..... lol..... i know im a menace

If I can interrupt and be serious for a moment ...

I'm going out on a limb, but I think the ceramic coating is on the INSIDE of the pipe, and has nothing to do with the outside surface. I could be wrong, which wouldn't surprise me, but that's what I think.

Carry on, and let the flames ... I mean "games" begin!

The outside is coated that is what gives it that nice shiney silver/chrome color when it is first new. As far as the inside goes I am not really sure. I have never seen the process of the coating being applied, but I would say if the coating is sprayed on it will not be on the inside of the pipe.If it is dipped than yes it is probably on the inside. Maybe a big gun owner that has never ran the pipe could shine a flashlight in and see what the inside looks like. It doesn't say that you have to mothers wax the inside of the pipe twice a week does it?
