What did you do on or to your CB 1100 today

Over the weekend, I got started on the muffler swap.  I removed the right aftermarket muffler with great difficulty and sweated at least a pint in the process.  Went inside to cool off, change out wet clothes, and replace the sweat with a pint of beer.

Recovered some motivation, went back into the garage to tackle the left muffler, and failed (so far).  I think if I get some time this week I'll search for the bernzomatic and try hitting it with heat.

After giving up (temporarily) on the left side, I did a little clean up on the original right side muffler, mostly because it was something I could do inside the air-conditioned house.  It cleaned up nicely except for some small pitting/rust on the bottom/inside of the pipe.  Although this is the non-visible side, I thought I'd try to clean up the pitting.  Using the aluminum foil and water technique, it worked pretty well.  I'll put some chrome polish on it before I install it.

Nice work. I have used products from Chemical Guys to address similar situations with great success. Do not know if this product is right for the job but thought you might like to check it out:
