Decided to wash and wax my bike.

huckjai · Apr 29, 2013

I typically only wash my bikes if I get caught in the rain. Usually, I just give 'em a quick wipe down if it gets a bit dirty. I was bored yesterday, so I decided to give her a wash. Then I waxed her today after work.

I used some Autoglym products that the dealer gave me couple of years ago. The polish took out the fine scratches and the bike is very shiny now. But I still have some minor scratches on the rear cowl from my boot knocking it every now and then.

Took the pics on my cell phone when the sun started to set, so the quality is not the greatest. FYI, I have two different mirrors because I like how it looks. Both mirrors function fine. Please ignore the messy garage. I'm in the process of cleaning it up. Enjoy or flame away!

having two different mirrors is [insert flaming smacktalk here]. that is odd, to say the least.

It's a Competition Werkes fender eliminator that I modified to use the Rizoma signals.

It is pretty odd, but for some reason I can't stand how the bike looks with the two same mirrors on the handlebars. I'm an oddball I suppose.

Well...my take on this is...since you overtake to your left most of the time, then the left mirror has to be bigger. While your right mirror is probably there, more for blind spots if ever you overtake to your right...hmmmmmmmmm....

Yup. Fitting on a wide body kit. Hopefully I'll get it done soon, but been occupied with work and riding lately. lol.

Even if it had matching lights, the BMW looks like an average sportbike in my opinion. I've seen some race ones that look very nice.

Anytime man! Haha.

You like the Rizoma rear slider ?

ttkarp · Apr 30, 2013

Looks great!

steveved · Apr 30, 2013

Is that a Honda 600RR in the front of the garage?
