John, Where did you guys get your wheels from? I realize the sidecar sizes are no good to me but, I'd love to get a set of lightweight good looking wheels for the GTS. As far as I know nothing is available. The front wheel is IMO the worst design element of the GTS. Too swoopy looking. It's not

MAAS. The best cleaner/polish/protectant available. I use MAAS probably twice a year and at the end of any long rides I wipe the wheels down with CANDO. Louis YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET! Juno now offers FREE

I just finished reading the February 2000 MotorCyclist magazine. In that issue there is an article on "The idiot's guide to detailing". One of the detailers contacted uses semichrome applied with fingers or a dremel tool. In the same article they say semichrome is no longer available, and that

One thing I have been thinking.. I wonder how well an electric toothbrush will work in those hard to reach areas? I think it might be really nice in some tight spots. I have used a flexible shaft dremel for some polishing in the past and it worked well. Louis Personally, I use bug and tar

MAAS won't damage any of the clear coat that is remaining. I prefer CANDO to S100. Motorcycle Consumer News did an article a while back about detailing products and I think Maas and Cando both got very high markings. If memory serves (rarely happens) Cando was the most economical and the most

I don't know about others but my front wheel's finish was gouged up beyond polishing. Seems that by hanging out in the wind unprotected it gets chipped and nicked by rocks and debris (maybe a 3rd world road thing). I wound up having both wheels painted, to good effect. Steven Puig San
