Halito Bill, Greg, Mick, Jeff, Lou, Chris, Stan, and any others I may have missed. Halito Woods!! You guys been busy this morning. A Happy Birthday to Beth and Bill. Hope you have a great day!! Should be nice day today, so I'll sit back and enjoy. Chiropractor did me a job yesterday..... slowly feeling better. I know this will take some time. Might try to mess around with bike today and see if I can get android auto to play and use google maps rather than the hd ride planner. Shouldn't be too hard on me!! Except I don't understand all the electronic gizmos..... Oh well.... It's just tinkering!!
Guess I'll go lurk for a bit.... I'll be back!!! Lurker out.....

A good Undercoat product, spread evenly will yield results too.

The Springer is all powder coat, no paint. But you can't powder coat the fairing or bags.

It looks far better than it did, and many people would be happy enough, and I was for a while, but I’m gonna go a bit further down the detail rabbit hole.

An ex neighbor brushed the entire outside of his truck with an undercoating product.
