You can buy second hand dishwashers on Gumtree or eBay for £10, so why take a chance on the one in the house? At that price, use it on a few small items first, then give everything a wash once you know what effect it has on parts.
We expect feedback though, with recommendations on which tablets give best results. :D

I definitely want to internally wire my bars so been looking at steel bars today, probably going to get some EMGO super bike bars although I'll have to get the from US eBay, its crazy how hard it is to get a decent set of steel low rise bars in the UK. Should be no problem drilling them though. Yes I'm getting ahead of myself as my bike is still in 8 gazillion pieces ;D
Continued cleaning up a load of parts last night (wild), still have a small amount of sealant left on the cases (well it's more like residue now) I started using a razor blade to scrape it off but this marks the aluminium.. would a fine sand paper be ok to get this off? I don't really fancy paying £10 for a can of gasket remover I'm barely going to use. If not is there anything else that can be used?
Merry Christmas Eve everyone!

Use a blunt scraper or Stanley blade, one that doesn't dig into the aluminium

Stanley blade sounds a good shout

Merry Christmas Eve everyone! You will still need bars that are strengthened where the cables exit the bars between the yoke clamps, as the slot needed to exit the cables is quite large, and Honda strengthened them for a good reason!
