Detailed: Redracer95's Harley Vrod

[ICEMAN]

first off, i covered the bike with Amazing Roll Off to get the worst of the stuff off and loosen some things up on the motor and rims. It sure did its job!! then i used a brush on the motor and rinsed the entire bike down.

then, I washed it with cheap soap. im waiting for my DP to come in, so i ran uptown and grabbed the best i could find. Turtle Wax, HAHA. it does Sud up VERY nicely!!! ill really test it on this Sky tomorrow!! i really want my DP, haha.

then i buffed the plastic with Menzerna Super intensive Polish with a 4" orange Cycle Pad on my drill.

then i waxed the plastic with DP MaxWax.

then i used a bike polish that ive been using for years, its a spray and wipe. does one HELL of a job! i used that on everything else. leaves a nice shiny finish. does a very good job cleaning. did the rims with it too. this stuff and an old t shirt works perfect on brake dust.

then i Sealed the plastic with Wolfgang Deep Gloss Spritz Sealant.

im VERY happy with the results!!! all in all, about 4-5 hours total.

before...

i wiped my finger on the rim to show how dirrty it was.

AFTERS!!!!!!

then we got a surprise 1 minute downpour, luckily i was under trees, and i seen it comin from the neighbors yard across the street, i ran inside and grabbed my old R6 cover!! didnt fit 100%

air suspension raised all the way up...

you should hear this beast in person. Craig, we should put my HD GoPro on you bike and take it for a spin. i can hook it onto my car and get fly-by's. i need to do that to the mustang.

the pipe is a CFR slipon. i'm stashing up for a Bub7, 2 into 1 full exhaust and a thudermax autotune. i have a stumble @ 4000 rpm in my pc3 map. when i had a set of supertrapp fatshots and a dobeck DFO on it, the bike ran smooth. no decell popping or back firing at all. i have someone tweeking my map now. so i'll hope for the best.

yeah we can do the gopro camera whenever you get back.

the brake light is a heavycycles stage 2 V with intergrated turn signals.
