Default I've got wrist ache now...

A total of 6 hours over 3 days doing












Yes I've caught the bug and I now have a clean-ish downpipe. All that I used was 3 quarters of a tube of autosol and a couple of green scouring pads. Inspiration to clean it come from Kwak and DizzyB, it looks like I got alot more to do.

I'll see if I can keep it clean now.

Not worth the effort. I spent ages cleaning mine, then after a few rides it was brown again.

worth the pain of skimmed skin on the fingers. If you do it right, and polish it every time you wash your bike, it stays like that.
Gah some people are soooooo lazy

Segggons well done. Thats actually better than mine.....for now!!!
