Wonder Wheels Splashes On Plastic!

Try some smooth peanut butter with a cotton cloth.

A joker!

Considering I only ride for pleasure, mostly in the dry, after work only, daylight hours, and that I also have a young family which limit my time riding. In the last 12 months I have clocked up 14000 miles between my 4 motorbikes. You can hardly suggest that I'm an armchair motorcyclist! That said, I do like riding around on nice looking clean bikes!

fuckin poser

Taking cover off? Is that a big job?

Look at it.

Look at how it is held on.

Take it off, with suitable tools.

To put back?

Reverse taking off procedure.

PS Next time you want to clean the wheels, use P21S Wheel cleaner, as recommended by Porsche. It's non-acidic and won't feck your plastics. Refreshingly expensive but you are obviously not short of a bob-or-two.

Did you ever get your Autocom to work / get a comfy seat?

I referenced your electrical wiring efforts (and your subsequent write up) in http://www.ukgser.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2118898#post2118898

Cheers for that, Luvs me picturs!!!!!

Must admit I didn't look, just remembered the cover went up deep into the front of the engine, thought it was a remove front end of bike sort of thing?

No I never did. I don't ride often with music and autocom on so its really annoying when it happens. The consistent theme is it happens when the volume is on max (because the ear plugs are doing a great job) and a song has perhaps too much bass or a heavy beat and it seems to cut the volume like it's being controlled by the autocom. It does't happen on every song. I've tried with mic, without. With auto volume sensor, without. I did think though it could be something to do with the helmet volume sensor? But I don't know. It's an intermittent experience - the worse kind of fault.

What?? Is this a joke

No, it is abrasive so should get the crap off and the oil gives it a shine too.

Can be used on all plastics to get the shine back. Try it on car bumper trims etc. you will be surprised at the results and your dog will love it.

That's one spangly looking GSA you have there sir. there’s nothing wrong with keeping your steed(s) gleaming if you can, and commend you for that.

I just hope that my GSA scubs up as well after 9k miles without a wash.

I have experimented with alloy wheel cleaner carefully applied (!) then washed off after 15 mins - seems to have a chemical reaction of some sort.
Don`t leave it to dry though or you will get white tide marks.

 

[gsbiker]

I have tried a number of ways. Alloy wheel cleaner removes the browning only. Alloy wheel cleaner like Wonder Wheels serves a purpose, the downside is, if a slight flick of the stuff hit your black plastics it will stain white and hard to remove without cutting as pictured, even then it's not perfect.

As you can see in my picture below the header closest I cleaned/polished, the other header furthest away was not and you can see the difference. Basically I tend to use brillow pad and autosolve then using a polishing buffer on the end of a drill to turn a nice job into perfection with a mirror like finish. Looks good but will brown quickly once you ride your bike. It's a labour of love, some would say the payback is not enough compared to the amount of work you put in. I agree, but it does look nice in the meantime

Nearly... the oils in the peanut butter break down the residue.
There are far better and relistic products for car trims than peanut butter.

remember to use smooth and not crunchy!
