Should have some decent weather Sat morn, I'll see what I can do cleaning her and post some pics when I'm done, hopefully I'll be able to get majority of the rust off because its just depressing seeing her like this.. I park it outdoors (daily commuter) in NY and it got caught under a lot of snow before I had a chance to move her, blame the salt on NYC garbage department.
OK you don't have a Garage ore a cover too protect your Bike from Rain, Wind, Snow and so on ?! Thats not Good
hmmm
Luckily i have a Carport too save my Bike from these thinks.... and a cover.
My Bike stand still for 4 Months i only ride from March too end Oktober here in Germany.
But with luck you can clean your Header Pipe with a cleaner named Optiglanz !!!
Its a cleaner for Stainless Steel and ist´s a little bit toxic and aggressive !!! use Glasses and Gloves and u be fine. Don´t let it drop on the paint of the bike and use water too erase it after polish it.
Here is a Video too demonstrate that Optiglanz:
