    product advice wanted for protecting a new Harley engine

    I'm looking for a suggestion for something I can apply to heads, fins, and lower engine casings that will take the heat from the engine and offer some protection as well as making them easier to keep clean the fins will be time consuming, but I don't mind taking the time to do it right, as well...

    Old bike gone, new bike is here - And Hello Old Friends

    Haven't been around in a bit, but I thought I'd stop in and show off the new bike. :) I only have about 250 miles on it. I've got a matching tour pack coming as well as a number of other horns and whistles coming. Once I get it cleaned and sealed, i'll get some pics up in show and shine.

    considering foam as a first step on motorcycles

    Recenltly I've been considering the endless nooks and crannies on a bike and the benefit that could be had by starting by covering the bike in foam and rinsing it off. I really don't mind cleaning it all gently by hand, but I'm wondering if by foaming I would see a benefit I'm looking to try...

    This is why I got into detailing....I was afraid I'd get this

    this guy can likely detail circles around me, I'm told he's all that and a bag of chips....don't know who he is, but he seems to know his stuff this is what I thought I'd get, if I took my bike into a shop for a coating I don't see the need to cover a bike in foam, and there's no need for a...

    Just a taste....Vivid Black 2019 HD Trike

    I've been working on this in my spare time and I got a big part of the trike done last night. I finished the correcting on the rear trunk and fenders. Here is a shot of the top of the rear right fender before. It's a good shot to give you an idea of how swirled it was. Pardon the dust. I...

    The Sacred Weekend vs. The Side Hustle

    We had beautiful weather here in Michigan so when my customer dropped off this trike on Friday, I told myself I would not touch it until tonight. The last side job I did ate up a lot of my weekend and I was determined not to touch this and wait. There were cider mills in MI that needed...

    A small deal that is a pretty big deal to me.

    A fella is dropping his truck off on Saturday when he goes out of town. It's a small job that I got by word of mouth. He took his truck through some brush, and just wants some spots on the side panels and front end corrected. The deal is to wash the truck and correct the clear coat in some...

    Never know when a bike magazine is going to get a shot of you on your bike :)

    It wasn't perfect, because i'd spent some time on the road to the event. It had gotten some attention before I left from Detroit. It got a thorough cleaning with McKee's N-914 and then a reapplication of PA's High Gloss. There's a little bit of evidence of 5 hrs on the road from MI to...

    Feedback on a great suggestion - McKee's N-914

    I recently coated the bike with Polish Angel Cosmic V2 Glass Coat, and then topped with PA's High Gloss. It's been ridden and has been filthy and cleaned a few times already. ECH2O is my go to regular wash. When I'm done, I dilute it a bit more and it makes a great detailer for the final...
