Nice ride Jonno. Some nice touches there. Which method did you eventually go with for polishing your pipes?

Thanks mate. I polished them with Autosol and they turned out really well. But my advice to you is don't bother. After an hour or two of riding the pipes turned a goldish colour anyways..Hadies wrote:Nice ride Jonno. Some nice touches there. Which method did you eventually go with for polishing your pipes?

Looks like a nice clean RVf mate - very nice!
Is the exhaust system a full Tyga kit - from the headers back etc? The steel looks brand new and if you did that from polishing then here's to a job well done - but I suspect there new.
I'm currently getting a Tyga tail kit painted up for my bike. A friend gave me a kit so I thought i'd wack it on. I'm leaving the front of the bike stock though. I put braided lines on my front brakes and they have really helped out in the braking department.

Yep full tyga exhaust from the engine. When they came from Tyga they had a very average finish (they looked like they were heavily scratched) so I spent hours polishing them and they looked like they were chromed..
Here's some pics

What braided lines did you get? Send me some pics of the bike when you get it fully sorted :D
Enjoy your weekends!

Put HEL lines on the front - left the back line stock.
I'm putting new tail and rearsets on the bike after I get from the Moto GP at Phillip Island in 2 weeks.

Nice one. How much did you pay for the lines? Have fun at the island!Quo Vadas wrote:Put HEL lines on the front - left the back line stock.

Did you install them yourself? Was it easy to do?code2006 wrote:I put new carbon hel brake lines front and rear on my rvf. It looks sweet

Re: Jonno's RVF400 - What do you think?..
Installing the lines is very easy.
Bleeding the brakes can be fiddly sometimes, but when you get your head around it it's pretty easy.
I picked up some good used galfer stainless lines and all fittings for $50, as a bonus they came with an hrc master cylinder bleed bolt. Keep your eye out on ebay.
SP1/2 and 2003-4 CBR600rr lines will fit the rvf also, many more bikes that use the rvf calipers also.

Thanks Cammo. I'll keep an eye out and possibly replace the brake lines when I get some time!
