AND THE WINNER IS ,,,,,,,,,
.......SKULL..... thanks for all the ideas but because of our climate iv decided to go with skulls method as hes just down the rd where its a bit more humid plus got a can of lanolin already ,, again thanks for the input as havnt stored any chrome long term ... and on that note the stupidity goes on ,first the lowrider seat i ordered from india came without the brackets that were advertised with it so a month went by before the replacements turned up, then when i went to fit the free flowing muffler ,, no gasket (that was advertised with it) rang up local re dealer ,, yep no prob but when i received it in the mail ,,, wrong gasket,,, they sent the copper header pipe one (after i told them 3 times it was the one between the muffler and header pipe) rang again ,,, sorry about that but we dont have the correct one in stock ,, going to take 2 weeks to get it to me AHHHHH somebody up there doesnt want me to ride the bloody thing ,, stuff it orig muffler going back on till the next 2 weeks ,,, luckily did distroy the old gasket trying to get it out
