I got two sets of jim's denco reproductions for the h1s but not sure i want to chrome them or not.chrome would be nice but I really want to use a set this summer on the h1e .What else could I put on these pipes to protect them from the elements?

+1 on the Mop-n-Glow Curt.
Cody showed a set he did and they looked awesome.
Used a 3M scrubber type wheel with his drill to buff out all the black from the welding and then cleaned them good I think he said with alcohol?
Then whop the mopnglo to 'em.
Anthony, "Givr" in Ontario used it on his WTF chambers and when I was there a few weeks ago, I was admiring the great look of them.

Mop and Glo with the weld colors showing. Jim's welds are beautiful and the pipes look great with them showing. If you don;t like the look, its easy enough to go to the next step, but you can't put the weld color back. :)

I love chrome pipes, too.
