[Wishbone]

[dhuze]

I kept looking at it and saying " I gotta take that tire off so Peter can put the new one on". As a matter of fact, I said that today. The new tire is right beside me.

New Matris M4 steering Damper. new paint scheme on tank, and new Arai Profile British flag Helmet

[LuvDog]

I bought a bunch of stuff for the duc, but didn't do a damn thing with it.

I cleaned mine with a little pledge furniture polish a couple times, look at it a couple hundred times a day...sometimes I even touch it, and I charged the battery last month

Your the second person I heard that uses pledge. Is it plastic safe...even moto plastic?

[ri-gixxer]

Mainly just fixed, some damage i had on a low sided on a on ramp on 295, damn OEM tires suck big time, now running PP's

[Stupidhawk007]

New secret front master cylinder, new forks with emulators and springs. Hopefully a nice paint job and a rear shock rebuild before the 1st weekend.

I haven't tried it on the Moto plastics, I always use ArmorAll for the offroad stuff.
Pledge brings out the best looking finish on the matt black colors on the R7. All the plastic and painted parts I can get my hands on, get a coat of pledge on that bike. I still glaze and wax the painted areas once or twice a year, but pledge brings the best shine

Although tonight, in a grand effort, I took the front knobby off and put the tard wheel on. That took me a whole 10 minutes. I'm wrecked now.
