Re: Stainless silencer
BMW used double skinned headers on the R1200C. Gave them up after about 4 years along with the bike. They were very heavy, pipes and the bike.

Unlike the BMW R1200C header pipes, the Yamaha ones don't rattle either, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrmHoKNvFZg

Hard to believe, such a nice and expensive bike, with crappy headers like that...David. wrote: Unlike the BMW R1200C header pipes, the Yamaha ones don't rattle either, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrmHoKNvFZg

them chromed by a professional?

That certainly reduces the colour change effect. However the weight goes up. Weight is the enemy of most of us. It is also more expensive. You won't see that as a solution from BMW.
