| I think it was Derek who gave a good tip on the ST forum about using Wonder Wheels on the exhaust to help get rid of the discolouration. On ST's the horizontal cylinders exhaust lives out in the open and runs under the engine where it's exposed to all manner of road dirt. Even though it's stainless steel (although not a fabulous grade of stainless) the exhaust gets discoloured to a dull brown and looks a bit pitted in places on nearly all ST's.
Haven't had time to try Wonder Wheels out myself yet, but it seems a good tip. Could help trying that before polishing to save a bit of elbow grease
