Will get one tomoro when i get in from work...Its nearly as shinny as the radiator and oil cooler covers, not just as shinny as that though. With out droping the headers you cant get perfect. Came out good for half hour work.

hey i was kidding about the downpipe...lol.

Its not a hard job once its shiny...it just takes longer the first time, with elbow grease
I did notice that i needed a pair of shades for that rad cover!

Gave me some motivation to do it though as it did need it and i like my bike kept as good as possible.

Yeah the covers are polished after every wash to keep them good...Will do the same with the down pipe now.

Will Post a pic of the downpipe tomoro and you can judge if its up to your standards.

Yip 20mins worth of elbow grease and a fair bit off autosol.

Worked a treat, will just give it clean up everytime i wash to keep it like that.
