On the previous post is my bike clean enough.
It was noted that the rear header pipe was rusty

Plus other comments i could not work out

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

You have a very nice coq.

Lasted 2 weeks still looking good

Was thinking of using wing nuts so it would make it easier to take of for touchups

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.

But after a week of commuting to work (6 days, all weather) and they looked like they hadnt been touched.

I believe this thread is what is known as a cock tease!

Or should that be "hen tease"?

Hmmmm really

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 

The cock's around here usually ride gixxers

Hey Doc
