I love this motorycle, almost like a proud parent, so yea its my baby . I just cleaned and detail her, I used armor all on all the black plastic parts and tires, use detail sprey on the painted parts and cra glass cleaner on the winshield. she is so sexy.

"JUST TO UPDATE" I only armor all all the black plastic parts around the seat and tag light
I know I am crazy but SHE LOOKS FINE YEA?

Looks good, be careful with putting anything on the tires because that can make them slick as hell. Try to avoid the brakes as well. I really need to go give my bike a wash, thanks for the motivation.

Armor all on tires is a bad bad idea.

 

[Aufitt]

Good rider training aid I suppose lol.

Whoa never shine ur tires!!! I had a friend who was all about glossy looks and never bothered to read that those tire shine products are FATALY dangerous!!! The warnings are all over the products in respects to motorcycle tires...

He wouldn't hear it and I NEVER rode with him ever again nor do we keep in contact anymore due to his lack of respect for himself and his safety.

As everyone said, Armor All is bad news on the tires. I'd get the strong soap, water and a good scrub brush out, and scrub that sh!t off your tires, especially the tread surfaces.

looks great! do you have anything under the kickstand? the point load from the kickstand on that tiny bit of grass would be a recipe for your bike falling over if you are not careful.

Just to follow up with what the guys all said....

The only thing that cleans my Tires.... even the side walls is WATER

lol... have you seen my rear wheel?


i don't even clean the rims

[email protected] I didn't know armor all was bad for bike tires but in my defense, I only put it on the sides of the tires, not the tread any ways, I'll wipe it off in the morning. I rode down to the gas station to fill up, I was fine though when I turn on a corner, thanks for the advise, I am sure I will learn a lot from you all like this now.

I guess in a way it should had been common since for me, but my crazy compulsive disorder for clean stuff took over my better judgment,


Thanks

lyea IDK , I still going clean the tires and esp rims with at least soap and water. I guess in a way I knew amor all was not a great ideal but I figured once it dry on the side walls it would be fine.

learning curve here

"Proud parent"...... "my baby".......

I almost chundered.

It's a machine to be used. I'd be more impressed if it was all covered in grime, out on a ride to somewhere.

Looks good Billy! Thanks for the heads up on tire products. I imagine that even if you put it on the sidewalls only, eventually it would get wet and then drip down on the tread.

I ride the terror out of mine and my "girl" still looks good. My wife is about to leave me, I spend more time with my "girl" then her. If I wanted something dirty and grimey, I would of bought a dirt bike. Bike looks good Billy, and I like the color for some reason. I use Mothers Back-to-Black on the plastic, gets it clean, wax doesn't stick to it when you do the other parts of the bike and not slippery at all. Some people just like to keep bikes purtty.

yeap that why you see people with chrome on their bikes cause they want it to be purtty , lol hope he does not chundered at that word too lol...

Thanks about the advise on back to black, I'll have to get some. I like my stuff to always look new, just my thing, I guess I got it bad for this bike.

BTW I like your "Girls" TAG Fender Eliminator , it gives a whole new look from the back. did you just take those back handles off or is it a aftermarket TAG Fender Eliminator ?

I like your bike color too and for some reason it looks cool to me

 

[5005]

lol ok I get the point, I ****** up putting almor all on my bikes tires. I still dont see how it was bad to put it on the black plastic parts on the side of the bike. I just used it on those plastic parts near the seat and lol no i didnt put on the foot brake , or anything like that!
