Thanks @evoarrow. Yep the Tiger was pretty clean for its age, I do try to keep my bikes in good shape. There was a bit of paint flaking off in a couple of places around the engine, but it still scrubbed up pretty good. I think the Multi is going to be a bit more of a mission; there are more fiddly nooks and crannies that get filled up with crud, but I'm starting to formulate a cleaning regime.
Welcome Graham, great intro and it’s good to see someone’s done their homework. We’re having a little ride out in April in Wales if your interested.
