the new - what have you done to your ped today thread.

its chinese and you live in walsall. what you expect? never seen a clean bike around here. place is too dirty.

 

But it was all clean and shiny

 

bit of a tip. get yourself a big bottle of road traffic film remover. spray the scooter over with that and give the wheels etc a good scrub. then put some road traffic film remover in a bucket of hot water, with a clean sponge scrub all the panels, then straight away, car shampoo in a hot bucket of water again with a clean brush and sponge, get the shampoo into all the nucks and crannys on the wheels, then give the panels another good scrub. rinse it off. once the shampoo is rinsed off get some polish (ill get the name of the one i use in a bit) and rub it on while damp, let it dry then wipe it off with a clean cloth. that keeps our bikes clean for a week if we dont do too many miles and keeps it fecking spotless.

 

Leathered
Yep pub it is mark told me to...




Oh sorry lathered well thats abit of a downer

 

Well started stripping the panels, Can't get the front mudguard off, and therefor can't get to the two screws holding the front panel on will await to see if Steve can give me some of his great info on how to get these feking screws and bolts off

On a good side, front and back panel have been posted today!

 

Had a colleague come over (pushing) his booster. Air box falling off the carb, missing the clip to hold it on, carb full of shit as a result, needle missing it's clip.
Cleaned all that, sorted the missing bits. Goes great. Another satisfied customer!

 

Sorted

 

ALL SCOOTERS ARE OFF FOR THE NEXT 12 HOURS!!!!!!!!

Frekkin fork seals are leaking on my 1100! And the mot is at 1pm tomorrow!
Might be back on later................unless something goes horribly wrong.

 

Dislike.

 

Well as I couldn't get the paint at Wilkos yesterday I had some poundland spray paint, lol.

I figured I'd give it a try, and this is the result.


Looks much better to me, going to clean the rest of the panels and spray them I guess..


Also anyone any ideas where I can get some replacement of these?

 

I've probably 2 of the stickers I can reuse, one been the top, the other been the bottom, the rest are in pretty bad shape, I just can't find any decals which are original.

 

Yeah mate, there decals like Steve used on his zip, none are the ones like above, and if possible I'd like to stick the originals one on.

 

Yeah, I might try get in touch with some kind of company which could maybe make some of them, maybe change the blue to something else so it goes with the satin black panels? If not it'll be the chrome ones I suppose.

Also, borrowed an angle grinder from my granddad, well, fair to say its shot and has no power to it at all
So much trouble over 3 screw and bolts fekkk
