People don’t want to pay the price for a professional motorcycle detail. They think it’s small, so it’s easier and cheaper. They don’t understand what goes into a professional motorcycle detail. It can take as long, or in most cases longer than a car.

The primary and rocker boxes are clear coated alum. So unless you remove the clear you will never get that POP of a polished alum. Thats why people that want that pop chrome them or powder them in whatever color they want (generally black).

@glumdogtrillionaire Жыл бұрын

If it were clear coated, the pads wouldn’t have turned carbon black. Unless all his steel wooling removed it.

@akaredcrossbow Жыл бұрын

There is no clear coat on Harley aluminum parts, not even on stock aluminum wheels. It’s all raw polished aluminum. If you want to keep it shiny then you polish it and clear coat it yourself, or you polish the raw aluminum yourself every other weekend. If the parts were clear coated there would be no black residue/oxidation left on the pad or cloth.

When I detail one of my motorcycles, I first remove the bags, seat, side covers & anything else that's meant to be easily removed, like cell phone holders & things like that before I ever even get the bike wet...I clean all that separately...also, a motorcycle jack comes in handy by getting the bike up where you can easily reach everything without killing your back, plus you can spin those wheels around to get every tiny spot on them...

Use that to agitate product and it’ll save your fingers from early onset arthritis trying to get into the wheel gaps and as long as you’re not spinning it up really fast, it will be safe for the wheels!

Yay, you did a bike. Was waiting for this for a while. I never thought to cover the air filter on mine when I power wash it. Regarding to the lift, trailer that transport bikes have a slot where you can put the front wheel so it doesn''t move. The slot is two pieces of metal that form the slot for the wheel to slide into, you should get an adjustable one that can be used for different tire widths. I think you can make one yourself and bolt it to one of the lifts when ever you need them. Having 2 points to secure the bike with straps to the lift is also a win.

@FABAutomotiveDetailing Жыл бұрын

Awesome job Larry! I have an Electra Glide and love it but it was a bit of a pain to clean it up to my liking when I first got it. If your lift is long enough you might be able to install a motorcycle wheel chock on one side that you can remove when you don’t need it. Once the bike is in the chock you can get off it and use 2 tie down straps to secure it to the lift.

@carsonfiero4209 Жыл бұрын

Get a front wheel chock like a “condor” brand stand. You can bolt it on top of one side of your lift. They usually come with quick bolts to make removing them easy. It will hold the front wheel securely with the bike standing straight off the side stand.

Last time I had to clean a bike this dirty, I actually started with the air compressor. Bikes (especially naked bikes) have so many nooks and crannies where dust and dirt settles. I found it it be a better start to release all of that before getting it wet. You point about multiple brushes is so true. In fact in some points I reached for a large modellers brush. If you can find some/any way of removing the tank on a bike like this - do it. A bit like removing the seats in a car, the extra effort pays off for getting to other parts of the bike.

Another comparison between cars and motorcycles to consider: a motorcycle is waay harder to blow dry. The ignition switch, the saddlebag locks, the switches on the handle bars, the wheel spokes, etc all hold water and will try to corrode. The engine can finish drying itself if are able to run it for a minute or so. Try not to blow dry the speakers with air.

As always, nice job Larry! For the future, you could consider a strong, yet light weight platform that can bridge both sides of your lift. Or, at the very least, you can have a 10-12" plate that bridges the two sides, have someone weld both a few pieces to act as a channel for the kickstand and maybe screw in a eye to the far end of the bridge to be able to strap a hard part of the bike to the bridge/platform (to prevent accidental tip overs).

For the rear wheel I would say just roll the bike back and forth to reach the different parts of the wheel rather than having to reach around the belt and swing arm and avoid that finger strain, same thing with the front, and if you’d be a little more comfortable doing it on your own I would invest in a motorcycle floor jack which can allow you to remove the front or rear wheel. An axle nut holds the axle through the wheel and the front is a lot easier to take off than the rear but it is a simple concept.

@arymidaz3491 Жыл бұрын

You did a cool transformation on this bike Larry. It always takes more time and effort to do the details on motorcycle. The washing and detailing process is easier using the center jack on the bottom chassis so the tires are free to spin, making it easier to clean tires and wheels. For the engine, especially the cylinder head, the most comfortable thing is to remove the gas tank. For restoration, mechanical assistance is needed to remove plastic parts such as the outer shield and front and rear fenders. Then you gonna really feel comfortable and satisfied doing the polishing and detailing. You did a great job Larry. Salute... Greetings from Indonesia 🇮🇩

@jeffstonecipher1594 Жыл бұрын

Awesome job on this old twin-cam. Motorcycle detailing really does test peoples endurance and patience! Oddly for most people at home, a motorcycle lift just tends not to be necessary unless they prefer to do a lot of their own tire/suspension work. Somehow though I wound up with two lifts over the years (just gave one away to a co-worker) If you really want one for your shop, I would just recommend one of the smaller to medium size lifts, which tend to range from $70 -$300 -they all do get the job done. The larger professional ones start at $1000 and quickly go up- would be way overkill for your shop I would imagine. My medium sized "big red" was about $150 and lifts my Road King easily, and is easy to store out of the way all my other stuff cluttering up my garage. Really wish I used the thing more, but honestly most cleaning and maintenance for my bikes are just done on the kick stand

@LukeSoler Жыл бұрын

To use the car lift for bikes, you can place a strong piece of wood across the lift (having an H shape from top view). The bike wheels would sit 1 on each side of the lift (to support the bike's weight safely). The wood plank has to be wide enough to support both the wheels and the side motorbike stand on it, and also thick enough to support the little weight needed for the bike's side slung weight over its stand. I hope I see this method in action :P Obviously though, shake the bike to see how solid it is before actually working on it.
