Fairing and Fork Boots

My headers are now back to where they were before cleaning them such a short while ago.

Think I'll be a tad more circumspect in future.

Ho hum.

I had a cat once. It used to stand in a puddle and lift its right front foot and lick it clean and dry. Then it would put it back and the puddle and repeat the process with its left front foot. And again with its left rear foot. And again with its right rear foot. Then it would lift its right front foot, see a drip fall of it and look thoroughly perplexed as if saying, ‘but I’ve dried you already’.

So it is with trying to keep the headers clean on a 2010-2016 standard CB1100.

Cute story Cormanus.

Maybe something in the water?

My headers stay clean for about 12 months. If it was much less, I would have a new chrome exhaust system already, or sold the CB. I have no patience cleaning something that has no staying power.

Alternatively, I tap into the power of Cormanus and look away.
