Kawasaki Concours

[richy]

This bike belongs to my friend Art who is also a member on L2D. He let me take it for a ride last fall and I was really impressed with the bike. Bloody fast, corners and stops beautifully. Anyway, we had talked about him getting me to apply CQF to it in the Spring and I had an opening (kinda) this weekend so we made it happen first thing Saturday morning. I was actually working on a B200 MB so I moved it over so we could concentrate on the bike. Art had polished it out already and it needed just a wee bit of tweaking. It looked gorgeous and I was excited to see how the CQF would make it stand out. It sure did!!!

We had removed the windscreen to polish it and the area behind:

Master of polishing all things that can be polished. Pianos to cars and bikes. Looks great Richy as always. Thanks for posting and sharing.

Looks like a fun ride! A real shiny ride too! I always admire the patience required to properly detail a bike.

Thanks, but it`s not the patience that challenges me, it`s the damned low to the ground work is really hard on my artificial knee. I`ve got a lift for m/c's and would have used it if I was doing a full job on it.


BTW, here is one pic I missed when posting:
