After 16k miles I thought it was about time I gave my pipes a little polish. The 3k miles without washing the bike last year certainly didn't help.
So today I started to disassemble them, BOOM! big cut on my finger and a blood blister pulling the springs off
I will say though, what a brilliant idea stud and nuts are for headers! A little squirt of WD40 and they came off no bother. No snapping or anything
It all came off reasonably easily
The rear header however...
I need to install more bendy bits on my socket set and fingers to reach that one. I think I might just try my best to polish that pipe where it is
I'll update this when everything's nice and shiny
