Supporting Member texscottyd Posted October 16, 2022 Supporting Member Share Posted October 16, 2022 Everyone was close, but @skipperT was right on the money: All six exhausts tight (ranging from .10 to .20), and all intakes in spec (five at .15, one at .13) Net: Mine seems to follow the general pattern that many have reported on these CP3s. We’ll loosen up that one intake to get back in the middle of the range, and reset all six exhausts. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member 2and3cylinders Posted October 16, 2022 Premium Member Share Posted October 16, 2022 Can I amend my estimate? 🙂 I was thinking positive for you 1st time all my exhaust were tight and 3 intake 3rd time still had a couple, 3 exhaust go tight a bit I can't remember I'd have to check about the intake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilo3 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 (edited) Cleaned up my headers, not sure if I'll polish it or just leave the brushed look. My hands hurt already, probably the later. Edited October 17, 2022 by kilo3 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wire wheel on a grinder and go to town. Make sure it's a pretty fine wire. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pilgo Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 My first Fall ride since moving to the States last year and passing my MSF course last February, 360 mile round trip from Fallon NV to ride the June Lake Loop via Hawthorne , then home through Bridgeport / Yerington.

That's still pretty abrasive versus a paste polish, which is even more of a PITA. But they look great! Personally I don't really care, as they're hidden from view so much, in a year they'll look the same again but mostly I'm too lazy and tired to bother. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a good hour of working over it is about all it takes to get it uniform. It's a pretty hard stainless so you can't really overdo it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member roadrash83 Posted October 17, 2022 Supporting Member Share Posted October 17, 2022 I had my first chance to ride the GT since Ian blew thru my town of North Port FL. It sure felt great to get out on the bike after almost 3 week's ( I had the common sense not to go out before everything was cleaned up that I could at this point, to insure domestic tranquility) and get home with out a flat tire, I have never seen so much damage in my life and people left with nothing, just breaks my heart. 2 1 He who dies with the most toys wins.

I just looked at my headers and they actually look pretty clean. What schmootz there is a bit of kerosene should clean off as it's likely just road bitumen. They're actually a lovely golden hue color that's very uniform, so I'm just gonna leave him alone, as I said, I'm lazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OZVFR Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Finally got around to doing the screen adjuster mod. So easy, took all of 10 minutes and $20, what a difference. The whole screen is now much stiffer without the shake. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
