...Thanks, Nick! Still needs some elbow grease to really bring out the luster. Now that its starting to warm up around here, she'll get the attention she needs.

...The one thing that surprised the Hell out of me, was cleaning up the wheels. They were kind of gray and scaley. I didn't have any of the miracle products you see advertised for cleaning up things that are black. So I took a bottle of Armor All and douched the wheels down really good, let them sit for about 15 minutes and hit them with a nice clean cloth. Much to my amazement, the Armor All took off all the scale and crap from the wheels and actually turned the damn things black again. I was going to paint the damn things! Not happening now. Sometimes you just need to experiment with what you have and see what happens.

...All smiles.

I might just try my wheels that way.
Don't want to coat the tires though.
I have old tires on the newest 650, so nows the time to try.

...Give it a whirl.
