The paint needs the heat to fully cure to a mat finnish, its granvile engine black, if you are interested They look good Mr, what was the actual paint you used?its granvile cylinder black, I did say engine but got it wrong here http://www.granvilleoil.com/product_info.php?prod_id=252Also to add - it comes in small tins but is quite thin and gos a long way, even though its thin it covers well, you could amost paint glass with it, and its hard to see the brush strokes after, I recon you could do your exhaust 3 or 4 times over from 1 small tin

Something to do with gas flow measuring?I've only even had Fazers with stainless pipes, first time I noticed it. Is that on all stock downpipes then?

Fitted my cheapo Chinese handguards last night, and tested them out this morning in chilly conditions with summer gloves. Worked brilliantly I'm keeping the wind off, and stopping the wind chill on my digits. It's an autumn/spring must if you commute!
Finally got my 6 sorted, didnt want to start, turning over but not sparking and no ticking from the fuel pump, gave the ignition switch a good soaking with wd40 and then blasted it with compressed air.....brum, brum
Would they still fit I wonder with full size leavers
