hi every one,
Back from my hol's in Florida, :sun: While over ther i managed to get in to every Harley store i could, and loudly stated, how in my opinion all Buells's are far superior in all departments to all the Harley's under their roof, and their decision to do away with Buell will never be forgiven, by me any way. After thoroughly rattling their cage's, I left their over chromed, over merchandised, under powered, mis handling tat show rooms, :ner: deliberily leaving their doors wide open ..... it felt good just to vent my disgust in the USA, as they seem to belive no other bike exists. :old: :ner:

Any way i was looking at the photos of last year’s UKBEG meet at Lincs that Digger had a link to, and was surprised to see the blue Uly with shiny pipes, Now I'm ok with the dull look, but how and with what did this guy get this finish .... if you got any ideas, would be interesting to know ! and what the overall opinion is on this :?:

Good to hear you are spreading the love!

That Uly might have been CJ's its a very shiny example. Elbow grease and autosol will buff it up a treat

Get a Stainless set and have them CHROMEX ceramic coated. Does not even go gold or blue. I've done this on the Rocket and plan to do the Guzzi and Buell too.

Do get shiny pipes like CJ's you have to get yourself a Jane. lOl

Failing that try fine wire wool and autosol.
