Used the Harpic method on my Triumph with no ill effects, but will certainly take on board the “embrittle” advice. My Fazer was fairly mint when I bought it with only 8,000 on the clock. That’s allowed me to keep on top of the state of the headers that now have got 40k+ on them. Solvol and thin strips of rag or mutton cloth work well if you don’t have to take them off.

I've taken mine off - I'll freshen up the paint on the front of the engine at the same time. Problem is - each time I start to clean/refresh something, something else to do hove's into view  :'( .
Never mind, can't see too many miles being done this year.........
