Houdini, I have the Hard Krome Reztech pipes in Ceramic black on my VTX. Since it's a ceramic coat there is no way to repair it, like chrome, but unlike chrome it's actually quite delicate. My pipes have a bunch of micro pits by the back tire, I believe that road dust/sand/dirt off the tire basically sand blasts it. Also on the VTX they hang a little low, so they also have scrapes on the bottom, from my low lean habit in turns. Don't get me wrong, I love the look, but want to educate any one thinking about getting them. If you want to see what I'm talking about I'll park the Valk and meet you someplace on the X to show you.
