Err…the collector/cat box on the V100 is stainless.

It certainly didn’t look stainless, the one I saw anyway.

I can assure you it is. I’ve got one.

Then it must be poor maintenance by the owner. As I mentioned earlier.

Stainless comes in different grades - most collector boxes and headers that are stainless will ginger with exposure to heat and water but not actually rust. My old Ducati Monster exhaust headers and collector looked rusty, but polished up to mirror finish with little effort.

Think my V7 has a stainless one, looked blummin rough when I bought it, but a dose of Solvol Autosol, and a rub down has it shining again :slightly_smiling_face:
