I would...My headers were rust free and it took me 3 hours just to clean them, using the Eagle 1 Tatty recommended.A nicely rusted set might take all day...$10 a hour to clean them is a steal compared to ordering a new replacement

Do I need to host it somewhere or can I just attach it to the post?
Ordered new Front/Rear SS Speigler Brake lines.
Ordered new Caliper Pistons/Seals and Master Cyclinder internals since those are suggested every two years. (Very nervous about trying this myself).
Purchased the Givi V46 and Rack from NISMOS14 last Thursday.

Yes, but it would be cheaper and easier to use something that fits properly.Like a Viper or JonK's GYTR.I found mine off a salvaged bike for next to nothing and had to spend a day to make it fit without interrupting the rear brake.
Yea u have to host it elsewhere and add a link

I looked at it today with a concentrated stare that lasted about 12 seconds.

Went to the grocery 4 times with a backpack just to ride it.:shakehead:
You really don't need to replace the piston seals and MC internals nearly that often. If you're doing track days fairly often, then sure. Otherwise it's not needed unless you start having issues.
The manual says to replace the brake lines every two years because they're rubber, but if the bike is garage kept and there are no cracks or other signs of wear, you really don't need to change them either. I do highly recommended braided steel lines, like you're planning on installing.

(Yesterday) I went for a nice ride with my girlfriend on the back. Up to a place called double peaks park. Amazing view from up there, I always end up there at the end of my rides. My new stompgrips took a lot of the pressure off my arms (and groin coming to stops) that I usually have when riding 2up, so for that I am thankful.
Did the ezglider lubing, so easy once you get it, LOL

Cleaned and lubed chain and both sprockets using Maxima clear spray lube. The stuff is like glue once applied but makes it nice and isn't messy as hell like they do at the dealerships. Ran out of daylight for anything else after work.
Installed one of these on my helmet today. Not sure if i'll use it all the time but see a lot of guys using them. Cost about 10 bucks & let's you put the helmet on/off much faster.

I used one of those for a couple of years. But havent used one recently....I found that bent over and head lowered it would dig in to my neck...hadnt noticed it too much, but once I took it off it felt more comfortable while riding. Was much easier though with gloves on.
