    I took a chance on a very badly advertised Yoshimura R77 .

    Its not the full carbon version but i think it matches in with my frame etc very well

    It came with an unopened Baffle but the rap on it is amazing so it wont be going in any time soon.

    What do you think ?

    Ye, autosol is good... the brown marks happen from greasy finger marks being super heated! They advise using alcohol based wipes to clean the pipes after fitting from new.

    Looks good in that finish with your silver frame. i had a similar score on ebay got a carbon R77 for £280.

    You can polish out the markis but it will come back its due to heat don't worry about it, it can look very good and colorfull on Titanium systems though turns shades of blue on those instead of the straw colour on stainless.

    Thats exactly how i had it so cheap . It was labeled " Honda Yoshi R77 + heat shield "

    I only found it because for some reason i typed in "yoshi r77" , normally i would search CBR1000RR then the part im looking for
