@stinkwheeler :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: Just reduce the picture size on your camera, I always use 1920 x 1080 res and have NP's uploading any pics.

@NINJA ^ thanks mate thats obviously where im going wrong spot on i did try for ages then gave up will bare that in mind for next time nice 1

I wouldn't spend too long polishing, mine seems to bake an orange tint and blue at the cylinder end after a good thrashing! Looks awesome, really want an underslung now

[NINJA]

@Glynn123 That's the heat affect, which is caused by the metal's properties changing due to the prolonged exposure to the heat being pushed through it. Which is more noticeable on welding seams as the weld causes the molecules in the metal to change slightly, which affect's the metals properties and causes discoloration in the ends of the metal pipes. Only a surface coating like chrome plating will hide those blue and orange tints for-sure, otherwise they will return as you have stated.

@stinkwheeler If you lowered the picture res to 1920 x 1020, you will also be able to store more pics on your camera, as each photo will take up less space on your memory card.

@NINJA yeah I didn't know the clever side to it haha, I just try polish ever couple rides to keep her shiny

[NINJA]

@Glynn123 Which exhaust do you currently have bud???

[Glynn123]

@NINJA haha yeah had a build thread for when I done my USD conversion etc, a lot has changed since then and done some extra little mods and got some super sticky Conti attack SM tyres fitted
Got some more plans for this winter if I keep the bike so should be more to come

[NINJA]

@Glynn123 You should update the thread dude and show us all your handiwork.

[Glynn123]

@NINJA will have a look over this week and see what I can do mate, phone camera is awful though haha

[Calum]

@Glynn123 Can't be worse than my phone camera...stick rocking Sony Ericson W810i!

[stinkwheeler]

@Calum lmao i bet thats because everytime you go to buy a new phone ... theres always that one bike bit that you didn't know you needed

[Calum]

@stinkwheeler Well that and no one ever rings me so I don't exactly need a phone.

[stinkwheeler]

@Calum its verry much the same for me in that respect of not getting phonecalls .... i literally just use my phone for taking pics ... googleing things ... buying bike parts on ebay .... and most importantly this forum lol i do spend more time than i should looking at other builds for ideas to steal

[Glynn123]

@Calum iPhone 5s mate, shocking camera when it came out, worse God knows how many years later. New phones aren't at the top of my priorities either haha

[stinkwheeler]

Hey guys back again with a little update I've not had a lot of time recently but have a week to get it on the road as the rs has become porley lol so I've fitted the graphics today and got the new panels on and a mock up of the exhaust just have to make a bracket and take it for mot will fit new cylinder and zeeltronic and fat bars when i get more time .... ![alt text] http://imgur.com/gallery/8T2UhIW

[Calum]

I like how your graphics have your username on them

[stinkwheeler]

@Calum ha thanks i thought it was quite quirky lol and i just built it mainly to build a thread on the forum as my last one was stolen i need to get another daily too but I'm torn between another two stroke or a ktm rc for work
