everything I've read so far indicates that there are no bike days at Limerock due to it not being safe.. |

Kevin,you can't grind down an allen wrench to a stub to work? It's been awhile,but that's what i did
Shawn ..Is it possible the plastic is too roughed up? Maybe some 600 then 1000 grit wet sanding before using polish? |

greg i went up to a 600 wet sand but i have a feeling i need to go higher. so i'll try going up more tomorrow...i shouldn't try to rush this project anyways, we're gettin more snow tomorrow night so it looks like i should be able to dig the bike out around June!!! |

whatever i can do to help kevin.
it was good to see you greg, it was cool having two buell customers at once also.
dana's was the first buell i saw on the road when i got mine in 2001, a purple s2 (might have been parkway blue?) i think i saw danny's old cyclone the same year but that was it until 2003! |

Ustorque. have you tried high speed buffing with a mild compound? that should get some shine back into the plastic. |

Ryan,beware of buffing and heat associated with plastic |

you need to go up to at least 1500 grit. 2000 and 2500 would be even better.... |

sups NEBO.. .
Nickcaro, Tony's a really great guy and runs a super-tight trackday program. I have not done one myself but I've ridden dirt with Tony along with a few of his instructors Ken C and Paul D. Ride dirt with Paul quite a bit actually. All stand-up guys.
Other forums I frequent hold TTDs as the best they've attended and continue to attend each season.
couple'a coins.. . |

yeah, I keep hearing good feedback with Tony's so I'm going to go ahead and set up at least one with his people for this summer. |

Those are the grits to use if you are polishing metal as well - the best polish is elbow grease! |

Patches are on the way-- I snuck 'em in with corporate mail today so the S&H is on my company. Also fired one off to Ulywife & one to Blake. Thanks to all the knee-bone freaks who ponied up the cash. I hope you like how they came out-- I'm REALLY happy with the result.
Shawn- that thing polished up purtier than a stripper pole! Well done. |
