is it possible ? I've heard of products that claim success
any truth to the claims? If so, recommendations?

I have used Blue Buster, Blue Job and Flitz. All claim to remove blueing. All should be pretty easily found on ebay. I probably like Flitz best just because of its consistency. No flaking or clumping up, just nice and creamy. There is no magic formula, but I have alternated these three and kept my blueing to a minimum.

It seems like I'm the only one it works for, but Nevr-Dull wipes the color right off my pipe with one swipe. I quit doing it though, because the color matched my paint so well that I got to liking it.

The gun blue remover worked for me as well, but the underlying chrome was never as bright as it was new.

Everything I say is fully substantiated by my own opinion.

Maybe I'm weird
but I actually like the blueing on my pipes. To me, it makes the bike seem like it's doing what it was designed for: being ridden every day. Really really chrome pipes remind me of the HD people who ride the bike to the QSL bike night one a month and that's it.

Blue pipes do not mean you're running lean!!!...........
They simply mean that your engine is running hot enough to blue chrome pipes..
This
can
be from lean running, also rich, or just bad....
or
it can be a perfectly tuned and running engine that is working hard. Stop and go traffic, long rides through elevation or temperature changes.
The Savage has a very thin double wall pipe. If it had a single wall pipe it would be blue no matter what...if it had a very thick inner wall you couldn't blue the outer pipe without using a blowtorch.
Tuning a carb based on pipe color is not a good way to go.
If you don't like the color, by all means remove it. But it indicates virtually nothing other than the nature of the beast.
I like the blue...makes it less of a girls bike,...know what I mean? No offense to the girls,...most of them don't want it to be a girls bike either.

Have to agree with serowbot on his comments above - I've had plenty of bikes set up to perfection on dynos which still turn the pipes blue - only really thick twinwalls tend to stay fresh chrome.
My new Raask pipe started to go blue when my newly rebuilt Savage engine was idling so rich it sooted up the spark plug.
