Our Stubby had the matt titanium finish, but we polished that up so it shines. The problem is, nothing really removes serious discolouration on titanum short of a polishing wheel, and it will never shine as well as stainless steel.

There is a bike sized envelope for a pointy.................it's called a skip

If you can't find Solvol, look for Belgom Alu. Does exactly the same job, but also leaves a thin protective coating on the metal. It's a little more expensive than Solvol, but very good.

And feel free to use that anytime

Agreed. I have just come in after Autosol'ing my M4 titanium exhaust can, I have been doing it for years now. Its best not to leave the polish on to long. If it is the down pipes you are worried about, they ain't titanium on the Akrapovics.

As for the forks, have you got a decent pic??? Most of the time it is just the lacquer that has been pitted and it can look worse than it is. Give it a go with Autosol, to make it easier try a dremel with a polishing wheel as advised earlier.
