    Appears to be in top shape, your doing or did you get it that way? I'm impressed but hope you put her away and dried her off when you got her wet shooting those pictures. Rain has a bad habit of slowly erroding the beauty of metal for some strange reason. What care products do you use and what beauty secrets could you impart to us? Thanks for the pictures.

    thanks for your words robert , yes definatly dried off first , i probably spend too much time cleaning , i just do one thing at a time i use that metal polish autosol its so good i bought 5 tubes off ebay , and for all the fiddly bits i get my dremmel out which i persuaed my girlfriend to get me for xmas, it was in good condition when i got it as you can see from avatar that pic was in garage i bought it from , the guy imports them from the US he only gets the top codition ones i paid 2000 pounds for it , its my second bike from them i had a 550 maxim before what i really want is the 1100 have you seen any in your area , also if anyone has any pics of them i would like to see them , i just wish it would stop raining and the sun come out it does that here now and then

    Holy Cow Mike! $3,489.21 USD is a heap of money! Especially for that old of a bike, even in that condition. Guess the import fees add up. You must have really wanted that bike! I love Autosol as well, though I don't use it near as much as you obviously do. It is an excellent product and I've recommended it to many enthusists. Your poor Dremel must have just about been worn out when you were done. I know of an FJ1200 sitting here at the base, the gentleman is asking $1,000USD. It has been sitting for about 3 years now. Sad really. Hope to see it find a good home (I want it but the property taxes this year killed my savings and I'm looking for work come June). I'm not sure how difficult it would be to ship but we are all of an hour from Los Angeles International. Hope this helps. If you like I can check the local pages for sales. More later! Regards, Robert.
