Nice find! I rekon giving it that kind of clean would bump up the resale by £120!

Pity he didn't go full hog and give those downpipes a clean.

Nice effort on the plastics, but gotta wonder, if the downpipes are in that state, what is the bottom of the rear shock, inside of swing arm etc like?

Indeed, those downpipes are in pretty good nick for what is a 7 year old bike. And around the shock looks pretty clean too.


Mine looked like that once. Ever such a long time ago. Laughing

Very nice job Thumbs Up and I love the examples of the 50:50 shots.

I can honestly say that my bike has never been anwhere near that clean, even from the time I bought it... or at any time since Embarassed

I knew it would appeal to you Craig Laughing Wink

I've been a member there for a while (under a different moniker), it's a haven for real ( Shocked ) men who are more then comfortable to admit that they're way, WAY too anal when it comes to the cleanliness of vehicles.

If you google the phrase 'sad bastards' I'm afraid to say that the site is top of the list Confused

Its a shame he didnt cover the work done with the swing arm/shock etc. I want to clean up those parts of my bike and wouldnt have minded seeing how he did it and what he used.

As far as I know it will do a good job with swirls (as shown in the 50/50 shots), but proper scratches will be asking a bit too much I think
