Heading for the 1,000-mile mark on the new VT750... just one complaint

Now with 800 miles on the clock, pictured here at Dover overlooking the cruise terminal. Nothing to report really, she runs right and is good fun, my only complaint is the catalytic converter in the pipe which gets so hot anything that touches it melts.

And the chrome has already marked from three lots of serious cleaning and polishing.. which is a nuisance. Disappointing when most of the finish on the bike is pretty impressive.

I'm tempted to blame the quality of chrome BUT this does get red hot so any determined removal is going to risk marking it.

Maybe this is the answer a YAMAMOTO SPEC-A SUS2-1 Megaphone, two-into-one full exhaust muffler in stainless:
