Pipe maintenance. What do you do to maintain your pipe?
Foxx4Beaver:
I keep a light coat of WD only from where the pipe exits the jug,to just past the pipe spring mounts.The rest of it gets polished once every couple weeks with 3M 06064 Polish,a non abrassive auto polish that I use on my truck....works amazing,you could shave in the reflection when it's done,and the non abrassive won't hurt the finish.I keep my bike in my living room,so the days it's not being ridden it stays nice and shiny...and my buddies always ask if I got a new pipe.
