You can't polish dirt.

Well of course I washed it first, silly pants.

Not sure yet, probably going to get some kind of engine enamel for durability.

Damn, I've been lusting after a red '08 FZ1 since they came out! If you get tired of it, let me know!!

I'm hoping I can sell my bike this spring and find a good used one.

BTW, the shine is real purtty

Third: Did I mention that's a kickass FZ1?

What he said! I think I'll be buying some of this stuff very soon.

Old pics but I use Dupont Teflon wax. Slick as snot.

I did use a bottle of Rain-x spray on wax sunday and its decent. I'm not a big fan of spray on waxes.

Hey Ranger, what is the story with the pipe going in to your muffler? It doesn't look factory.

If I didn't know better, I'd swear that it's Auto Zone type exhaust pipe replacement crap.

Correct. I have a high mount now.

I thought that may be it. It came out good and I'm sure it was a lot less than getting an aftermarket system.

The previous owner of my bike put pretty much the same Micron high mount on. I haven't had any desire to change it. It sounds good without being stupid loud like some of the GP style dumps people put on now. It looks good on the VFR.
