RE: MOTHERS/MAG AND ALUMINUM POLISH.

The 2013 CB creates a lot of liver spots on the headers of the exhaust system. Mine does it too, right from the start. The first year I try to stop it by polishing them with Autosol, which wasn't easy and took some time. But the spots returned again and again. Then I changed the not very satisfying procedere. I cleaned the headers and after a ride let the headers cool down, took a rag, sprayed some Balistol on it and rubbed an oil protection film on the headers.

I wipe the oil away before I ride the bike again, so it can't burn into the metal. The headers look clean without any new spots. Since that day this is the way to keep the headers clean and be a joy to look at. Sure, the ever on going oiling also takes some time, but not that much as the polishing act. The only time new spots appear is, if I forget the oiling. Sometimes I polish in between, but this is nothing in comparison to my first attempts.
