On the previous post is my bike clean enough.
It was noted that the rear header pipe was rusty [roll]
Plus other comments i could not work out ;D
So it was decided to remove the exhaust system.
and head of to Bunnings and buy a Josco buffing kit for an electric drill $39.
Works a treat secure the drill in a vice and use the buffing wheel as
per instructions on the pack one abrasive wheel and one polishing
supplied with buffing compound plus i finished of with Megquires metal polish.And a few hours all good [thumbsup]

Lasted 2 weeks still looking good ;D
Was thinking of using wing nuts so it would make it easier to take of for touchups [laugh]
I linished mine, then the stainless wax with the sisal mop, and then the cloth mop and then the paste and they came up looking like chrome. [thumbsup]
But after a week of commuting to work (6 days, all weather) and they looked like they hadnt been touched. :( [roll]
I believe this thread is what is known as a cock tease!
Or should that be "hen tease"?
Hmmmm really [laugh]
It's a chicken, and chicken in French is coq....so it's a coq-tease in reality, which is no different to some of Rob's other posts!
but it's a lovely bird, rhode island red I take it? but if she went near the tank with those claws she'd be very quickly turned from 'beloved pet' to 'parma'
You inspired me Rob [thumbsup]

Beautiful job Doc- and good to see the tyre gets used to it's capacity [thumbsup] Who owns all the castors and wheels in the photo? I need to make up some custom GoJaks to move a car around the garage. Standard ones at the local supercheap don't really accomodate an 18.5" wide tyre too well...
"Stealth" - that is freakin' awesome 8)
