Title: Is the bike clean enough, pt2 the much awaited the follow up. Post by: FIFO on December 05, 2009, 11:47:26 PM On the previous post is my bike clean enough.
It was noted that the rear header pipe was rusty [roll] Plus other comments i could not work out ;D So it was decided to remove the exhaust system. and head of to Bunnings and buy a Josco buffing kit for an electric drill $39. Works a treat secure the drill in a vice and use the buffing wheel as per instructions on the pack one abrasive wheel and one polishing supplied with buffing compound plus i finished of with Megquires metal polish.And a few hours all good [thumbsup] (http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t70/robert3520/IMGP5221.jpg?t=1260091632) (http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t70/robert3520/DSC01966.jpg?t=1260091698) Exhaust system removed (http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t70/robert3520/IMGP5215.jpg?t=1260091760) Josco buffing kit $39 (http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t70/robert3520/IMGP5219.jpg?t=1260091838) Drill mounted in vice (http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t70/robert3520/IMGP5225.jpg?t=1260091888) Buffing wheels (http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t70/robert3520/IMGP5212.jpg?t=1260091941) That is our pet Chicken named baby chicken on the bike ;D Unfortunatly my niece was unavailable. :-X And highly recomened buy DOC'S (and that's not the Ducati owners club) That images of minors should not be used on the DMF [evil] :-X *Note that was pre the cable tie job [thumbsup] Title: Re: Is the bike clean enough, pt2 the much awaited the follow up.

[roll] ;D Lasted 2 weeks still looking good ;D Was thinking of using wing nuts so it would make it easier to take of for touchups [laugh] Title: Re: Is the bike clean enough, pt2 the much awaited the follow up. Post by: dragonworld. on December 06, 2009, 01:54:02 AM I linished mine, then the stainless wax with the sisal mop, and then the cloth mop and then the paste and they came up looking like chrome. [thumbsup]

Post by: techno on December 06, 2009, 03:18:16 AM I believe this thread is what is known as a cock tease!
Or should that be "hen tease"? Title: Re: Is the bike clean enough, pt2 the much awaited the follow up. Post by: Jukie on December 06, 2009, 10:14:51 AM Hmmmm really [laugh]
Title: Re: Is the bike clean enough, pt2 the much awaited the follow up. Post by: Spider on December 06, 2009, 10:42:53 AM It's a chicken, and chicken in French is coq....so it's a coq-tease in reality, which is no different to some of Rob's other posts!
but it's a lovely bird, rhode island red I take it? but if she went near the tank with those claws she'd be very quickly turned from 'beloved pet' to 'parma' Title: Re: Is the bike clean enough, pt2 the much awaited the follow up.

Post by: Q777 on December 23, 2009, 04:17:25 AM Beautiful job Doc- and good to see the tyre gets used to it's capacity [thumbsup] Who owns all the castors and wheels in the photo? I need to make up some custom GoJaks to move a car around the garage. Standard ones at the local supercheap don't really accomodate an 18.5" wide tyre too well...
