How did you get those pipes so clean? Mine are burned fairly bad and I can't find anything to remedy that.
Lots of elbow grease and Mother Mag Polish. Mine were pretty brown when I started as well. It takes some rubbing, but it will work on the stainless very well.

Gee, that means I only need three more bikes! :D

I think I'll skip the "colored undies" part though. (And no, commando in not in my dictionary!) :eek:4:

Today I installed the carbon fiber fender extender on the front fender. Not as long as some of the extenders, but that's why I picked this...plus it looks cool. :)

OK. Final post...cause the bike is done and ready for use. Decided the rear tire still has enough rubber to go a thousand or more miles.

Took it out for about 35 miles Friday. Ran great, took HIGH HO SILVER home, gave her a wipe down, and stashed her under cover.

This will be my loaner bike for this summer. Already have her first loan and trip planned. My buddy who rides a Hyabusa is joining me on a trip at the end of March. He doesn't want to ride the Busa all the way the Pheoinx AZ so he is going to ride High Ho Silver instead.

Before the trip she gets new rear rubber and my extra Pirates Lair back rest installed. Can't wait till March !!!!!!!!

Plus then I'll have another rider to ride with !!

Just a repost to let those interested in a fly n ride for a vacation. The 03 will be available and the Lake Roosevelt Bed and Biker Breakfast will be open this summer. Spokane International is one hour away and we can shuttle. :06biker:

This is a serious offer. PM me for information.

Jethro,

I highly recommend taking up the ToddC offer if it ever works out. Beautiful area to ride. Beautiful place to stay. The company isn't bad either....

Todd, can I ask where you got the carbon fiber Extenda? I can only find them on overseas sites and the shipping is horrendous!
