  2. I take it that's aftermarket fairings? Chinese? <:-¬
     
  3. Wash your mouth out! Proper factory stuff with paint job.... Still slowly cracking though. Might treat it to a CF make over next year.
     
  4. Soz...:oops: If I had one I'd have the factory stuff safely squirreled away, especially if it was a track toy.
     
  5. Bought it like that. And I've got all the standard stuff bubble wrapped in the loft.

  6. Cleaned a little more today. It's coming up quite nicely.

    I forgot how hard the rear wheel nuts were to get off. :Inpain:

    On another note, Muc-Off chain cleaner is proving to be tops. A quick squirt and dirty, oily grime is just dropping off. I may never use Gunk again. :upyeah:

  10. And after 3 mins with a dab of Solvol, a battery drill and a hidden section of my exhaust. I've decided to go down the polish route. :upyeah:

    My old MV had polished exhausts, and I always thought they looked great.

  12. Cool. How do you buff them up like that? Is it easy enough or a ball ache? I might re do mine during winter.

  14. I love this thread!
     
  15. Tut-tut! have you be using ally on that grinding wheel?
     
  16. If you get time, could you please measure the thickness of the front sensor holder.
    The part that the spindle goes through.

  17. Just used a small sponge polishing head on a battery drill. I have a larger polisher, but it's too fast for this. I can see me using a Dremmel for the nooks and crannies.
