    What did you do to your ride today

    Why do you think it needs to be wet sanded. Micro marring, micro swirls? I found out with pinnacle (liquid) sovereign wax looked best with the true red. I liked using the liquid wax more especially with a polisher.

    The housing itself is probability the culprit of the leak. Usually with headlights that's the leak. With tail light I would imagine the same. So you can either split the it in half by heating it up and separating the housing and trying to reseal it or replace them. Could also be a tail light...

For 2 years (then sold car) after I did this I never...

    Nice looking bikes. I was looking at the gsxr 750 or the gsxs 750 but don't currently have the money. I was also looking at a few mt09/fz09 but the insurance for whatever reason is almost another grand a year on top of what I was already paying for. Also for me as a speed triple is around 100...

    How to genwon thermostat w/o removing PS pump or compressor.

    Yeah it is not to bad. Quarter inch ratchet and extension is the way to go. It's just plastic so it is not torqued to the gods. I bought a drain pan that was on sale for cheap and used that. That's why I like the flexible hose clamp pliers. They always come in handy. I use them at work more than...

    How to genwon thermostat w/o removing PS pump or compressor.

    Once the clamps are off the hoses all I did is grab the hoses and manhandled back and forth. Flexing the hoses until a little bit of coolant starts to come out. after that they are pretty easy to get off as the coolant will act some what as a lubricant(silicone) to get the hoses off.
