OK, what method do you guys use for covering the bike in ACF50 but not getting it all over the brakes?
I've tried various things but some still seems to end up on the discs, and that's really not a good thing....

Spray the ACF50 into a receptacle and use a paint brush to apply it.

Doh! Now why didn't I think of that?
Well there's a little job for the weekend......

I use pimp stixxx to get into the difficult to reach parts, between the fins etc. Overpriced, but better than sticking a rag around a screwdriver.

Cheap toothbrushes and autosol! Brings your wheels up a treat and no broken fingers! I spent 7 hours polishing mine up last sunday. Now showroom condition. A bit sad I know but I like it and that's all that matters. Just because they are built to go round the world doesn't mean they have to look like they just got back! And yes I do use it.

I have taken the lazy route and just use an old XTZ660 hack which I use every day and is literally caked in sh1te at the moment! When I got my 1100 last year it was clear somebody had spent a lot of time powdercoating bits and bobs and it looks amazing for its 67K and I couldn`t bring myself to use it at the moment. I know many of you will think it daft, but I am afraid that is just me.
To be honest the Yamaha is brilliant fun
