Just read about this new type of affordable ceramic coating - for those who are interested in keeping their bike cool (Joe)

UPDATE: Here's a review: http://www.camauto.com/PDF/exwrap.pdf

QUESTION: How hot does the zoorst get ?

Reason I ask is this cheaper coating only copes up to 900c, but the performance stuff handles up to 1400c

I think the less expensive one, the heat resistance might be ok (although I think the superduke headers get a lot hotter than the "classic and mid performance car markets such as Ford Escort, Mini, Caterham 7, BMW 3 Series, VW Golf GTI and Honda Civic"?)...is less resistant to chipping and so on?
" Higher performance vehicles such as the Subaru Impreza and Mitsubishi Evo as well as motorsport customers are likely to be better suited to our Performance RangeTM products. "
Bike headers get blasted by dirt and stuff much more than car manifolds do. - When they're hot.

They mention customers in SA and Australia, the shipping cost would be about 150 pounds.
