Bike looks great. I might just dig in and do the airbox mod.
I just experimented with different polishes. 100 grit orbital, 220, 320, 600, 800, 1000, 1200, 2000 grit wet sand paper using warm water and a bit of dish soap. then cotton balls and mothers. Anything 100% cotton will do. I have used Wendol and that polish leaves scratches in my opinion. If you do it right the first time it should take a good days work per side. I gave up doing the swingarm because I was planning on buying one anyway...

The undertail is a motorhead undertail 250 (I think)
Thanks for all the kind words the wifey thinks I a have a compulsive disorder and that I'm a Busa Addict. I think using cotton balls was the straw that broke the camels back with her
Wait till I start on the Zaino.........I am going to tape the gas tank off in the middle and use my regualr car wax on one side and the zaino on the other for a true comparision. 85 bucks for the zaino has got me sceptical.
Yeah it comes with all these test tube looking mixing bottles and the wax mixture is only good for 12 hours , then to have to wash the test tube bottle out or throw it away,,,,,gees sounds like alot. also how much do I mix up to do the bike? 1/2 bottle? I have that accelrator stuff, how many drops do I use also? This stuff confuses me.
painless, how much did you drop you bike in that first pic, i like the look of it and i think i want to go about that height with mine, not slammed but not stock, did you notice any improvements with handling, or any problems with ground clearance? Thanks

great looking bike!!
I have the same jacket with the streamliner long sleeve liner for the cold days.
and for the zaino i mix up about a 1/4 tube full with 2 to 3 drops of the zfx this will do a few coats
and since your bike is so clean all you would need to buy is z-2, zfx and z-6

It is lowered 1 1/2 inch in front and 1 1/2 in back. they say its 2inches but it actually is between 1 1/2 -1 3/4 inches on those dog bones that I bought from Tracdynamics. Handling is no difference at all for me but the speed bump outside my house I now have to go really slow over. When I get the 6in over swing I might move it back to the stock height in the rear. I went two click harder on the forks as well. Back suspension is unchanged until the new swing arm is installed.
TrickTape Motor sports, I bought the bracket for the license plate because the motorhead undertail doesn't come with one........69 bucks (I think)
