Holyman Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 Get Trinity stainless or Motofast stainless. I got tired of the powdery rust too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creole Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 I once read that you can use high temp paint on the inside of the pipe to prevent it from rusting cause it rusts from the inside out. Dont remember if it was here (if so someone butt in and let us know) or elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holyman Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 Buying new may have been an option for me but not an option that I often use. In fact the only things I have on my banshee that were bought new are a brake res cover and handle bars and a Toomey 2:1 filter. Everything else I got used. My most recent purchases are Works triple rates w/ rezzies and my Trinity Stainless pipes. I also have the MF 2:1 stainless which I got from a guy for $75 shipped. The important thing is to do your homework, know what you want and then search until you find it. Some may have a blemish here or there but if you want or need to save money, then it's worth it. I've saved hundreds of dollars on stuff that I wanted by just waiting for the right time to buy. So maybe in the mean time, you can get a jar of Naval Jelly for a few bucks and wipe the rust off while you keep a look out for what you REALLY want in the future. By the way, I had T5's on my banshee but got tired of the spots so I kept an eye out for Trinity's. It turns out one of the guys here had a set that was only used for a month. I got a great deal from him and saved money off of the "new" price. I prefer the T5's but I prefer the all year round shine on the Trinity's more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigwill Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 Holyman --I have the same attitude towards getting things-patience-and waiting for what you want to afford. Some stuff you have to get new,but not all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pimp559 Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 Go buy some lime-a-way at the grocery store. Will make pipes look great and its cheap with no scrubbing. Double benefit cause you can use it in your house too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
