OCD cleaning...!

Which engine guards do you have on there?

BMW plastic ones, http://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/showpar ... Id=77_0351

Thanks David. Do you mind me asking how much they cost?

They are available from KFM for £85.81, http://www.kfm-motorraeder.de/cms/en/ge ... 1607719449

Check with your local BMW dealer & ask for some discount, usually 10% on parts.

I will - thanks.


I was considering bars, but I think they're a bit 'heavy' looking.

You are an impressive detailer. If you run out of projects give me a pm and we can swop bikes. ;-)

Thanks David. I spoke to BMW who wanted £96, but I won a new set on eBay this evening for £58.

Just think of all the places you could have gone and things you could have seen with the time you've been laying on your back buffing away!  The only thing I buff away at is my saxophone! haha

If I bring mine round, will you have a go at that too?


I spend so much time riding it, it gets quite dirty!


:alas: :alas:

I couldn't leave the house anyway, as I was babysitting our little ones.

When can you babysit them again?

If you're anywhere near Gatwick Richard, just drop it in!

Richmond, so not that far away!

After some quality garage time today, have achieved similar results to those below.

Autosol & a toothbrush worked well for stubborn areas, followed by microfibre cloths & elbow grease.

The hole inside the final drive isn't cleaning up as well as I would like, so I need to try that again.

The toothbrush & Autosol seemed to do the trick.

[Sullivj]

Thanks I'll give that a try. I was worried that it may have been painted, but now I don't think it is, so autosol should be fine.

Yours is looking good.
