  1. This adopted Honda I have had been dropped before my ownership. My intention was to sand down the paint plus respray. The tank has some OP orange peel in the clear. I intend to strengthen each fiberglass lug with carbon matting plus Cyanoacrylate glue. (THIN) With the one side of the fairing off I may take it to a local paint shop. I follow Windy Urtnowski on utube who repairs crashed fairings from bikes.
  2. If only people wax wheels, or paint...FK1000P is a wax seal so great protection. No damage as long a as pressure washer too near can cause issues. PlastX will take scratches our of plexiglass screen, with some effort. You can wash in Fairy Liquid if you must, Plain Stardrops @10:1 with warm water will degrease any bike..
  3. You can put a small desiccant pack into to capture the dampnedness. Once it is sealed it may not happen again. We put these in telephone cable boxes to help with damp, then change them frequently.
  4. Ceramic Bike Detailing. https://youtu.be/48RoR1pJywk?si=AVC6eIwinr1MdXJa
  5. I detail bikes plus cars my own plus other thought it might be favourable to share some if the tools plus techniques. Some just want to ride, others prefer to clean everything all at the same time continually. You can just wash your bike with car soap so plenty of option available for every price range. We have flow chats so in getting your bike clean for a ceramic coat to bond. We are asked the best product is a wax costing 1000's of dollars more effective than one costing $30. Buy one range then become familiar with that how it works in hot, dusty or dry conditions. Good luck everyone, plenty of global products so find the one they recommended in your location, results or perceived durability can be subjective.
  6. Good job I machine polish paint cars and bikes.. A good wash may be sufficient for some, a good wax when required.
  7. Yes Captain have other good batteries plus bikes, so in knowing that a good battery would not start it, I was chasing forwards of that. Little did I know the battery was so old, as it started the bike over winter..with good pace plus strength.
  8. The relay was getting power only 7v battery drop on cranking from 12.5 insufficient to start the bike....the starter relay itself was faulty. I too was not expecting both, the relay the garage had was the wrong size for the bike. Turns out the battery was change in 2011 so worn out as well...it has starter the bike all winter... New relay on order old school bike shop, things everywhere. So cleaned all connectors, the starter works from independent 12v. It also had a Data Alarm which is a PIA...
  9. My local independent has a starter relay, on inspection the battery was down to 7v on starting. In was exchanged in 2011 so well past its functional date... I may wet sand the tank while at this point yet undecided.
  10. 91...Bought from the President of the FJ Association....plenty of good ones about now.
