:arrow: Never mind about what's in the water mate,You should not post something "here" unless you intend to share info for the benefit of "all" ? As for the cost of spare parts rising....yes it's true I'll give you that,part prices are sometimes outrageous,simple solution mate don't buy them,plenty of good suppliers around the World to deal with anyway.it's not rocket science !! You've missed my point & "others comments" totally,all these pipes are now "HOW OLD" ?,a few "Stains" means "Stuff All" to most/ if not all of us "here"....find a "sound set of nice pipes" is the aim,no loose internal baffle guides,(as a prime example) & then off to the Electroplaters for an informed opinion on their suitability for Chroming!! You also seem to have "glossed" over the fact that Delkevic Replica Pipes have dropped in price dramatically World Wide...so you can polish all you like...& it will do precious little to the cost of parts/second hand pipes !! As pointed out in another post..you are removing some of the plating,battery acid has "etched" the chrome,a fact ! Before I finish this post.whats with your statement about only sharing "the information" with people who have contributed a dozen or more to the forum !!! & your previous post which read "I've decided against posting anything about it (the magic cleaner) in the open forum" Once again not really in the spirit of joining a forum... I joined to not only help where I can with acquired knowledge gathered over 30 years,but to hopefully learn new stuff (from other knowledgeable people) that I wasn't aware of about Suzuki two strokes in general,not just the GT750,this my 3rd GT750 by the way,in 33 years!

The Good thing about the Water "here" is that it really helps to make a GREAT BEER :lol: :D
Merry Christmas to all

You're not the messiah, Roger, just a naughty boy!!

Tooeys and Redback were OK when I was in Melbourne a few years ago, not keen on the XXXX though - I heard they called it XXXX as it was considered impolite to put 'sh1t' on the tinnies!!
Think of how stupid the average person is, then realise that half of them are more stupid than that.

Don't know if it's what you said, maybe just the water we're drinkin' :wink: :wink:
BTW my preference is for the Tassie beers, Boags and Casacde.
