Wow Plowsie, that's a huge difference.

I've been thinking of cleaning my bike, seeing as I've NEVER cleaned her since I've had her.

You may have inspired me to get my hands dirty.

How long did it take? Mine looked like that when I bought it, can't be bothered to keep it like that though.

[hovis]

There is a patch on the front that i scrubbed with everything that didnt wanna play so i left it.

Hovis have you seen Billys/my bike?

Took me around 3 hours of which annoyed the missus, and used a full tube from Halfords £5.49!

I have been tempted to do this as the rest of my bike is pretty damn clean. awkward to get to it because of the fairings though :smt100

Same here. I'm going to take the fairing off mine so i can get to the engine and the rest of the exhaust pipe.

I reckon it's worth doing this every few months but not every time it gets washed though. What a pallava!:p

[kwak zzr]

£5.49 is real expencive.

[hovis]

just do the bits you can see;)

thats what i used to do . until i removed the lowers

[adw]

£5.49 is real expencive.

Yeah I paid something like that. Realised after that Hein Gericke sell it for 3 quid :rolleyes:

[kwak zzr]

[plowsie]

[ScottishRawker]
