What a beauty! Awesome job - well done! If you're like me, you probably stare at it with great admiration. Enjoy the fruits of your labor!

A truly beautiful job. I really admire those that take that much pride in their bike and its presentation.
Unfortunately my Red CBR still needs a wash from 3 weeks ago and I am going to do it soon, once I stop having so much fun riding it.
