#117231 6hrtbt3 (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 112 Washed my bike 2 Months, 2 Weeks ago   I am sure most of you guys wash your bike this way, but just wanted to say how much easier it is to put it on the mc jack. The rims are so much easier to clean when you can turn the wheels. Also I had been using my air compressor to blow the water off, but today I used my 180 mph lawn blower. Sure got the water off quickly. I other point if you guys don't use Bike Bright, try it. You spray it on the chrome let it dry good, and spray it off. Cleans the chrome without much effort. Just my rambling thoughts for the day, now back to football.   Logged     Proud to be clinging to my guns and religion   The administrator has disabled public write access. #117259 Thom M (User) When the going gets weird, the RoadStar gets going Senior Boarder Posts: 270 Re:Washed my bike 2 Months, 2 Weeks ago   I picked up 2 cans of FW1 while I was in Florida and used that when I got home. It cleaned up 3,500 miles of road dirt and the bike looks better then it ever has. I even used it on the windshield and chrome with no problems. Thanks for reminding me about the games, I forgot they where on .   Logged     Thoms photo gallery   The administrator has disabled public write access. #117264 Lakecharles (User) Jeremiah 29:11 and Semper Fi! Expert Boarder Posts: 450 Re:Washed my bike 2 Months, 2 Weeks ago   What's FW1? I have not heard of it. But yes, jacking up the bike on the MC jack is really the way to go. I can do the WW's and check the air pressure as well.   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/09/07 14:48 By Lakecharles.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #117269 Thom M (User) When the going gets weird, the RoadStar gets going Senior Boarder Posts: 270 Re:Washed my bike 2 Months, 2 Weeks ago   http://fw1shine.com/store/index.php?main_page=page_2 There you go. I got it at a gas station where they had a table set up. I talked the guy down to two cans for $20. plus I got the can trigger free.   Logged     Thoms photo gallery   The administrator has disabled public write access. #117272 collector714 (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 417 Re:Washed my bike 2 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Yes I got to wash mine today..   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #117312 Hotelfox (User) Riding The BIG RED THUNDERCHICKEN!! Platinum Boarder Posts: 1115 Re:Washed my bike 2 Months, 2 Weeks ago   I actually went and got one of those electric power washers from Lowes for $99 just to wash the bike with, its a fairly low pressure thing but it does a great job getting the crap off the engine fins. Does not seem to take a lot of riding to muck the thing up around here. So far I have used it once and I'm happy, seemed to do a good job on the rims too.

[2] is the dual element amber bulb available at an auto parts store or at the dealer only ?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #117357 Curt (User) Never to old to ride! Platinum Boarder Posts: 3028 Re:Washed my bike 2 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Ironman If you have the 03 and below you can buy the amber 1157 bulb if you have the 04 and above then you can buy the 1157 bulb and grind the lower nib off the bulb and use it. (I think it is the lower one it has bee a while so maybe some one will pop in and reinforce that.)   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/09/07 18:33 By Curt.   Black Ice is Shinny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access.
