I just accept it... it's not so bad. At least the preds are stainless. Being stainless you could try buffing out the bluing, but it would probably come back and I doubt buffing would reduce it much anyway. Some folks tape the pipes to hide/protect the bluing, but I think that looks worse. I like my bike the way it is... the only thing I may eventually change is replace the turn signals with something more compact and made with real chrome instead of plastic chrome. Sorry, nope.

Yup, I had the dealer put "british customs predator exhaust" on the bike when I bought it. I still have the originals in a box if I ever need them. I think the "preds" are the icing on the cake. @Dewayne

I have the same bike and love it. I have a friend with an '09 Thruxton and a Sport Classic. I still would take my '07 in a heartbeat. http://thetarantulas.net/post/371990329/doomrider Great choice going with the ’07. I have the same bike and love it.
