I have Street 750. I bought it brand new 3 months back.

My Stock exhausts color has started to fade. There are patches on the entire black heat shield . I am attaching the pic.

Does anyone else facing this issue? why is this happening ?

@CR,


"Does anyone else facing this issue?"




I didn't leave mine on long enough to find out. This is all the more reason to switch to any one of the, far better, after market exhausts.

Well i got the "Baffle" removed for better sound!!!

No issues in the 2 and a half months I had it on. And with no cover and daily use it held up until a woman hit me and pushed it in to the swing arm bolt. Even rubbed most the paint transfer off without fading until I bought a replacement.

That is the same issue I am having with my premium exhaust it is odd.

it seems at the price range of our bikes we aren't supposed to expect, safe mirrors, dependable fuel delivery to the engine, nor a quality finish of a factory exhaust.
much less emergency flashers, a tach, gear indicator, ....etc...etc...that the competition has!....gotta pay for the name first, then replace all that they skimped on!

I have seen this before when cleaning solution ( sometimes leather or shock oil) gets on the exaust and gets bakes on...

Good point. I cleaned my bike only once with purple power and a pressure washer. I rode to much to keep her pretty while black. Haha

So I showed the problem to the official HD dealer. The guy mentioned that it's because of the baffle that has been removed from the stock exaust causing this color fade. I find this a bit hard to digest, but what else can I do !!!
