About 16 hours of detailing for 2012 Season - Video and Pics

Well I know it's not an xj, but I'm on this forum more then my own so figured I show my bike since I've seen so many of yours. It's a 2006 Honda Shadow Spirit VT750DC. It's my baby/daily commuter. Has a fair amount of custom work done to it, the big one being jetted Vance and Hines Pipes. LOUD! LOUD! LOUD! with a little LOUD! Going to put new mirrors, solo seat, cats eye brake light, radiator, and get my swing arm chromed some point this season (probably the end). Here's a video of it starting cold.

I spent 16 hours polishing and washing it. 90% was polishing. Polished every nut and bolt. Even the axle bolts and inside shock springs. Armoraled (even the foot pegs). Shined the tires (only side walls of coarse). Fresh fluids for the start of the season. Took it out and crashed it into a tree. Ha ha jk, but I was thinking that as I was cleaning. Here are the pictures of the final result.

 

looking squeaky clean, bud. i really dig the two tone paintjob on the tank. lookin gooood!

 

thanks man. Now I just get to watch it get dirty all over again. Black paints harder to keep clean then the chrome.

Schweet!
