thnaks.. yeah, i spent quite a bit of time on the pipe and the muffler tip.. jezz that carbon was caked on. then i took the green scuff side of a kitchen sponge, and scrubbed the rust off the mid pipe, and then polished it by hand.. came out quite well. this is all after taking 120 degree high pressure water to the entire bike... and then compressed air dry..

i prolly spent a good 4 hours cleaning it.

+1, thats why i plan on getting Rizoma's. a friend of mine has flushmounts and when he's behind me at night, its tough to see if his signals are on.
