Has anyone bought a new black painted Kerker exhaust in the last couple of years?I am interested to know how the painted finish stands up to a few thousand miles of use

I bought one new from the USA...it was more of a quick 'blow over' than a coat of paint. I would recommended blasting & painting it properly before you fit it to the bike

Yes, Wurth heat resistant matt black. It covers well and stays exactly where it should, and seems to be the only one that does nowadays. I have two old KTMs and it looks great on their spannies and seems to hold up well.

headers show rust after 12 months. had mine ceramic coated and that's now flaking. Crap for the money.
