Top Tip, buy some Harpic Power Plus 10X. (Wear gloves) And coat it onto the OEM metal parts of the exhaust, cat etc. Let is sit for a bit, give it a scrub with those with an abrasive sponge on any stubborn bits. Wash off and it will come back like new.

see its each to there own, i like the way its tarnished. lol
 
I 'm liking the bellypan. Which one is it?

Ilmberger, road version. I got a local guy to knock up the graphics for it. There is a post with the details in the "Gen 4" section. Personally I think it looks great, especially compared to the look of the horrendous standard exhaust. When you look at other euro 4 bikes the BM is by far the worst looking.
 
The weather was nice yesterday so I rode to work and back and stretched the bikes legs a bit,I have to say this is a beautiful bike to ride.
The weight loss is very noticeable and the front end is sublime ,it is a massive step up from my Gen3


I think you've summed it up very well from a Gen 3. It's almost a toy (aka 600 :witless: ) with the weight reduction !

Harpic is great stuff. Word of warning though, don't leave it o. Too long.received_390131532137261.jpeg

My mate was trying to free up sticky piston ring from a 2 stroke. I suggested he try some harpic, so he borrowed his wife's good pan to soak the piston. Left it a couple of days, ring still stuck, but pan hasn't faired so well

Sorry, off topic, I know.
Regarding stuck rings. I used to brush on paint stripper. Nitromors. Probably spelt wrong. Used to work for me many moons ago!
