Again Noel, you bike is waaayyyy to shiny and lustrous,  :good2:


Ray, this is for you. This is after about 3000km's, 300km's of dirt roads and 300 floodways in the Outback.

The mud's nothing, but the dust has penetrated every microscopic pore on the bike. I don't think it will ever come clean again.

You need a "Fenda-Extenda" if you're gonna ride like that!  :good:

Thus the reason the RPM shock comes with the protective cover...you do have it installed correct?

So, speaking of Noel's incredibly clear windscreen....

Has anyone ever tried one of those fine polish plastic headlight restoration kits on their windscreen?

Send then to Noel for a free polish, the post might be a killer....

Once! The owner supplied the kit for me to fix a headlight cover.

A brief version of what I have detailed at length before, they are all just abrasive pastes and liquids and expensive by volume. Car paint products offer a far greater range of grades, are cheaper and IMO, work better.
