Why?

im pretty sure there just mild steel,ive seen a few with rusty header's so that def puts stainless out the window.

 

[wogtaz ryder]

ive had a few stainless goes a little rusty ... or maybe thats dried up mud

Get a magnet like what's on the fridge if it sticks good chance it's carbon steel if it don't than there's a good chance it is stainless.

Why?

Coz i just sanded the hole pipe so its all nice and silver and im not sure if it will rust or not

mine gets a build up of dirt and themn you brush it up on a wire buff and it comes up all clean but not shiny,a magnet will stick to mine but not well so go fiqure that one out

Ah, that makes sense... Except I would of polished rather than sanding, that way if there is a coating you are less likely to remove it

i used a metal brush attachment to the drill took everything off looks so shiny but i asked the guy at the moto shop and he said it wont rust

 

[westy465]
