Hey mate, just thought you’d like to know that my GSA is now on 56k and still looking pretty damn fine!

How you get and keep a bike that clean, (unless it goes nowhere which, i'm sure it does) is beyond me :nenau

Good work :thumb
 
Looks like mine! Washing and ACF50 in my case. Is it the original rear shock on there?

Fine weather rider ex Harley man?.
 
All Year Biker treatment once a year, then I shoot it with a hosepipe and a little agitating brush now and again. Trust me, it only looks this clean once a year, usually it’s minging!
The ACF50 makes sure that all the dirt and moisture doesn’t get into it - the super shiny finish is really just a bonus, it’s the protection that’s worth paying for!

I really rate ACF50. As you say, it can look a mess for ages, but give a proper clean and it comes up looking new.

Got mine in bits at the moment as i have removed the shocks to send to Denz0 for him to work his magic on and, it looks terrible.
Tank off, side panels away, top crash bar unshipped, it really does look a sad case. It's minging under the tank, the trip up the
Dalton Highway probably has a lot to do with that though. Frame is rusty here and there and in general need of some TLC tbh.
So, it's not going back together until it's cleaned, tidied up and bits painted then i'm going to look at getting someone who's
good at it to get it as shiny as it will go and ACF50 it. Time i spent some time and money on the old girl as she's a belter.

No, its a Wilbers (front and rear, unless he has changed them).

Yes this bike has also been up the Dalton. And yes, it was a bugger to clean afterwards.

Looking great Snappo, glad to see the bike in such excellent condition. A credit to you sir. :beerjug:

Yep, the Wilbers that you put on it are still going strong!

I’ve had the suspension set up for me, but the only other changes have been cosmetic, apart from a set of Up & Back bar risers.

It’s an absolute cracker of a bike, can’t see me changing it any time soon!

Yes its a great bike. The GSA got a bit heavy, still enjoying a GS twin cam. Like you, I cannot see me changing it in the near future.

Looked at the images. Yes, clearly not the original shock on the rear. Remote adjuster fits in so well I hardly saw it!
