Started the process of cleaning up the R1 Titanium headers today. Hi Bogie , can you tell me exactly how you did it ? Which product you use ? 1500-2000 wet sanding ? Thank I started with 1500 wet sand paper but used it dry. Once I got any little marks/stains off the headers I used 2000 and then a quick rub down with metal polish.

FZ10's first fire up since going down for a Winter nap. God I love the sound of those big fat squish bangs of the Crossplane motor!!
(Sorry for filming it in the damn skinny direction LOL)
Class. She fired up, right away, just like you had just stopped her a few minutes earlier 👍 It was a glorious sound to hear after such a long winter. Although the weather is still a bit shit here. We were at 70F on Thursday and looking at snow flurries tomorrow.
It was about 48F when I rode it to the shop that is putting on the rear shock and powder coated mounting hardware. Man that short ride was so needed. The smile that this bike puts on your face is like a drug and I am an addict!! LOL

Nitron Shock will add even more riding pleasure to. Apart from looking brilliant... well done that Bogie man.

Clear ground yesterday but 2-4 inches of snow today. GRRRR!! Won't stay on the ground long and it is warming up next week finally but this has been a horrible Spring so far this year.

Can't believe how much the bike has changed in the year and a half that I have had it.

Seems they stole your look for the 2018 model. Demand royalties.

Well it was good to get out for a little bit today but the roads are still very sandy. We need a couple really hard rains to clean off the roads. Even with it set at the lowest level, the TC kicked in a couple times today. LOL Bike is now all cleaned up from the little ride today. Yes I clean my bike after EVERY ride. LOL

These are the pictures that I just stare at and can't believe how far things have come since I picked this bike up.

Just did a couple little changes today. Relocated the horn to under the right scoop, put on the Evotech Srl rear brake fluid reservoir and I finally located some frame plugs for the upper frame bolt holes that look good with the frame.
