the set of downpipes i bought have some discolouring which wont remove using autosol,what is the best stuff to use that will allow me to get the pipes looking good or am i better off painting them? i need to paint the top mounts as they are rusty,what a stupid idea,make stainless steel pipes and fit mild steel fittings

i need to buy some new clutch plates so is it worth buying heavy duty springs or am i better off sticking with a set of genuine springs?

anyone fitted a HID kit the their fazer? is it worth it or is the fazer headlight good enough as it is? i have not got my bike on the road yet as im trying to fix some issues on the bike

well my exup valve is completly siezed,and someone has removed the pulley and locked it up with a nut as a spacer,i will also need a new cable as one of them is starting to frey,and to make things worse all the bolts on the exup valve have rotted away so it will be a grinder to remove,and all the nuts that hold the downpipes to the head are very rusty,it is a gauranteed case of brute force with some broken studs to boot,and the rear mount for the exhaust looks broke as well,so i think my best route is a replacement downpipes with exup valve,and i will need to remove the radiator to give some more space so loads of work,lucky i did not plan to put the bike back on the road now isnt it
