i've seen it in halfords... might be their usual crap though

maybe if you hold a furry animal over your mouth and call Harley Davidson again they'll understand you!!!

walk into your local auto discount shop and ask for some! even if they dont have any in stock they can usually phone someone to order more.

and hey presto "it's 4.99 a can mate. you can collect it this afternoon"

Hi, daz u got any pics of the painted items? am cleaning mine down to day with the idea of doing them ASAP. What prep did you do?

[DaveD]

i used nitromors...it got all the grease...and everything else .. off...except the powder coating over which you can spray direct with no primer ..its not showing any sign of peeling after3k miles

[dazleeds]

just wired brushed everything to get it clean
then washed inside rocker cover etc with parafin to get all the dried clumps of oil out thort i may as well get the inside flowing well while off

have only given the inlet a first couple of coats so far as the rain came

should have em finished in a couple of days hopefully

couldnt find any crinkle paint yesterday so ended up with just normal vht oh well its not for my car

What did you use to clean up the lettering Andy?

I did my old M20 rocker cover ages ago but the lettering and 'lines' were all pitted and marked - the same as my S50 cover, so thats just all black at the moment.

Just sand paper, it's not super shiney and smooth, it's just how the picture came out
