LaFranloudy cans, pipe mods?

Looks nice, Guy.  Aluminum polishes up very nicely.  Did you do anything to it to prevent the inevitable oxidation that attacks raw aluminum with a vengeance?

Well that was nearly a year ago, and Helen has ridden that bike in all weathers and there has been no oxidation at all- the only thing I do is wax them whenever I clean the bike.

Guy, that's what I was lookin' for! What kind of wax are you using that stands up to the heat of exhaust?

[Guzzirider]

Autoglym- not sure if it does stand up to the heat of the exhaust, but I also use Scottoiler F365 spray in the winter on all the cycle parts which keeps 'em corrosion free.

 

Roads are salted more or less permanently from November to March here.

I'd say that's one hell of a testimonial!

 

Many thanks!

It is good. I used it when I lived in the UK on bikes I rode over the winter, and it works [My Triton survived two winters of salted-roads riding, mainly because of it - pic taken after such abuse]. The film washes off quite quickly, so you have to keep re-applying it. It also protects outdoor wood!

Thanks, Ryan: you're a man of taste and discrimination! I would bore you with many details but I'm a Triton obsessive and we haven't got all night...and this is a Guzzi forum!
