New down pipes?
 

After working all of the bank holidays last month, I feel like treating myself, but after a bit of searching around, I can't seem to find any companys that produce stainless down pipes for my curvy, so any help or links would be much appreciated

Cheers

You bike comes wih SS down pipes as standard :cool:

You just need to put the pinafore on, get the scourer out, add some elbow grease and get right down to it :p ...so folks tell me as I've never been arsed(yet lol) to partake in the activity myself :D

30 mins with some metal polish on a scotchbrite pad makes all the difference.

Or 5 minutes with the Hein Gericke super cleaner apparently!

Re: New down pipes
 

ran out of elbow grease when i tried, doubt i`ll bother again, that grease wont be back in stock :D

Thanks guys, i was thinking about getting some of that hein gerike 13 quid stuff, but wasn't sure if my pipes had maybe gone past the point of recovery, I don't think they are rusty, but still heavily stained with that coppery colour.

Hein Gericke stuff is the dogs, as you can see my link pipe was bad with that coppery colour you mentioned, completely gone now

And these are after 3 spraying on the HG cleaner and using a scourer as per instructions then rinsing after no longer than 3 mins, then me and my wife spent an hour with some Autosol metal polish some rags and a dremel with a polishing wheel to finish it off.

I polished my akrapovic system when I was swapping it from my 1st curvy to it's replacement, only reason I did it then was because it was off the bike and I could sit in from of the tv while doing it.
That was about 5 years ago and they've not been polished since and it's very unlikely they'll be polished again any time soon.
