Hi John I think Norton supplied some pre-polished. I think I remember some at Rugeley??? Don't forget ASBO exhausts as well.

Krauser Commanders have polished silencers.I've done a few, where corrosion of the front cone wasn't too bad, using a 'satinizing' mop (a wheel comprising several discs of Scotchbrite-type material) but it takes a long time, uses several mops at around £7.00 each, and creates a mess in the workshop. To do it properly needs horsepower and pressure - use a professional and expect to pay for at least an hour's work on each one.
Just a bike-less old fogey now. Boo-hoo!
