GS1200 Headers discoloured

[JayGee]

Wonder Wheels

Yep, it's mild phosp. acid for cleaning ally wheels and gets the exhaust back to shiny metal. I got this tip from someone else on here (maybe Dutchman, but I could be wrong). Others have recommended shiny sinks

The headers still need a bit of metal polish to get back to as new but it saves a lot of hard work and seem to have no ill effects. the Aotosol seems to make them go a nice golden colour very quickly but they stay like that for ages (I last cleaned mine at the beginning of the year and they still look reasonable).

What he said......almost, I prefer the blue to the brown.

well mine are blue.......and brown, and grey and......smelly

On a trip out of London last week I noticed a burning plastic smell, I assumed that it was the rice burner that I kept stopping next to at the lights. Got home and noticed the smell was still with me and no sign of the fireblade anymore........ I had picked up a blue cornershop carrier bag on the link pipe, - what a mess! Wonderwheels won't shift that!
