Howdy all! My first post, but what a wonderful site for info!!
I have an 83 VR and am trying to get it running again after sitting for 10 years.
Does anyone know what type of stainless this collector is made of?
I tried the magnet trick and it is slightly magnetic indicating type 416 BUT if the 300 series (that is NOT magnetic) is cold formed, it too can become slightly magnetic.
I am going to try my hand at brazing mine (I have a crack forming on the front edge, blowing on the oil sump).
Thanks! Bill
