    Hi
    Does anyone have any hints and tips for cleaning up the header pipes on my recently purchased Speed Triple?
    which is in very good condition apart from the headers.
    Thanks Clive

    Hi
    Thanks for the reply, I have just seen the forecast for the weekend, so it looks like I'll spend it in the garage with the solvol and old T shirts.
    Roll on summer

    Apparently Harpic Blue liquid works very well on stainless steel downpipes. I think I saw that on triumphtorque somewhere - or it could have been on here. Don't think I dreamt it.:confused:
    Just be careful how you use it though. I believe it is caustic.:eek:
    It also cleans toilets:poop: quite well!!:)
