Yep, it's meant to be like that. If you give it a good shake, it gets a wee bit thinner.

Nope they all come out pink/lilac

Put it everywhere except the brake discs and te painted bits(doesnt do anything on the painted bits anyway)
And I normally use a paintbrush and just paint it on...a bit easier than messing about with cloths and foamy stuff

Doris has seen a fair few winters, this will be her 6th, bless. Old engine oil painted over the engine n swing arm is cheapr than all this technical stuff. Me i'l just check some water over her once a week, and give the forks a wipe every day, annnnnd, clean and check the calipers evey couple of weeks. Other than that, a set of heated grips this year i think is on the cards.

Yep, the only actual advantage ACF50 has is that once it's on right, you can basically forget about it. Loads of other ways to do it that are great if you don't mind giving it a touch more attention.
