Screen looks nice, have you taken it out yet? Does it make a difference for wind blast and the like?

A practical question when he's spent that long cleaning it? Why would he want to ride it?

If you polish it, and use it.... funny you can also keep it as a museum piece, its called not being lazy

Suzy was used regularly in the latter part of 2011, and is still shiny shiny. Its all down to the quality of the polish.

Raptor don't get polished, bodywork wise.


Oh and autosol is good for a top up....but now I use optiglanz periodically on the downpipes.
