Hope everyone doesn`t mind a couple of bike pics, I know this is an automotive site but enthusiasts like me tend to like cars and bikes too.

These were taken last year, pre-Autopia. Bike washed with S100 total cycle cleaner, waxed with NXT.

Then I discovered Autopia :bow My poor Visa card is still trying to recover :shocked .

Now has some marring from the tankbag :furious: (won`t be using that much anymore), going to use PC with SSR2.5, Pink Moose, Natty`s Blue and FK425. I also just ordered Souveran, may have to try that instead of NB. I have a better camera now, will take some more recent pics for before and afters.

Unfortunately right now mine is in a few pieces :o



I am in the process of cleaning the carbs and doing a valve check...

Here is a pic of it all together. This was taken in the previous owner`s garage. I usually only ride with the tank bag. She needs a bit of work, I have slowly been replacing tired, old worn out parts with new...

I agree, does look good.



How exactly do you use a machine on a bike? You remove parts and polish them that way? It seems like too tight of a fit any other way.

rjstaaf -- Nice VFR, that`s the one with the gear driven cams right? I love the v-fours, I had a 83 v45 magna.



Scott-- Thanks!



Tailwind-- Actually the marring is only on the tank from the tankbag rubbing on it. Should be no problem with polishing it on the bike. The fairings are in great shape, haven`t had to polish them yet so I`ll cross that bridge when I come to it. Most bodywork is only held on by a few allen screws so it wouldn`t be hard to take apart.

Yup, carbs and gear driven cams. The 4th generation VFRs have always been my favorite.
