Cleaning downpipes?

Damn, busted. We could be together Chris

For all those that hate seeing a shiny downpipe close your eyes now.

I nipped down to Homebase and picked up a pack of assorted wet 'n dry. 1x P240, 2x P400 and 1x P600 and also got some fine wirewool. Spent about 15 minutes or so scrubbing and it's come up alright. Still got more work to do on it but I'm going to try and take it off to make the job easier.

Sorry about the rubbish picture but the bikes in the garage lacking a rear wheel and being held up by a wooden beam.

did you use anything other than wire wool to finish to this standard Seggons?

15 mins rubbing sounds like a good compromise on riding to cleaning time.

Just fine wire wool and some autosol metal polish.

Give the oil cooler grille a wee blast of some high temp paint whilst you're at it Scott...........

Thanks for the tip, I'll move onto that next.

could you just wrap it in the heat tap stuff?

I also use stuff at work called ali shine.my pipes were red rusty and aplyed this stuff with a paint brush plus little bit of wire wool and branddd asss newwww

I've been wondering how to get the headers on the KTM clean after looking at them today.
Years of cack and horse sh!te thrown at them from the front tyre has left them looking a bit iffy.

ta daaa lol

requires 1 dremmel with wire wheel
and 1 sheet of 1200 grit
and some metal polish and a rag

job done in about 2 hours

oh and that had 25k worth of cr&p and rust on it
