At least once a year the bike gets a good week long service and detail. Starting with the basics of all three fluids and the tasks that go with each.
After that I don't put it back on the road til every inch has been cleaned and detailed. You find alot of things before they show up on the road. This year the car came off and I had the stripes hand painted by a local guy for 80 bucks. I took these right after that cleaning and am only now getting the pictures off the camera. I have a little time after having surgery on my thumb last Thursday so enjoy a clean bike
The car weighs just south off 300. The closest thing I can say about handling is it drives like a ATV. You have to muscle into corners. After three adjustments the rig now runs straight and true and is a blast to drive.
Wax is Meguires or Mothers and is put on with a small hand buffer and removed by hand.
This once a year detail keeps things fresh and makes it so things don't get rusted or corroded beyond repair
That is a good looking bike it is amazing how good they look when they are clean mmmm maybe I should wash mine ooorrr bring a 6 pack with Northwood To your place? Just saying good job.
Going to look at side car this week. It's been sittin in a garage for sometime. I've been told it needs paint. Hopefully it's all there and will turn out to look as good as yours.
VERY nice! The black looks miles deep! What type of wax do you use and do you use a buffer to apply it or by hand?
I just picked up a new addition to my garage, 2003 anniversary Ultra with matching hack, I posted a couple pics of it under the thread "sidecars". It aint a RG, but sure is a blast, especially for my daughters!
Are you a member of USCA, and if so your thoughts on their organization, I am considering joining...
...... the 'shorty' shield on your hack really streamlines the look of the overall rig.
.... you need to tone the shine down a bit though, some of us don't wear our sunglasses inside.
