Click the link for Wheel Guard in the document... it takes you to the manufacturers site.

I added the Canadian supplier for Chemical Guys Too (gotta' take care of me M8's)
Powder coatings added... I'll do the Full Detail at a later date... too busy these days... gonna' take a cross country roll soon. I'll have it out before it's time to put the bikes away (Canada) though. Should just ride it down south and live there... but I worry about your government. [8D]
Actually... ours may be worse... puppet wise.

No problem guys... I have actually made some changes in the document (and may make more as I remember stuff I forgot to tell you) so don't print it... just check back and print it before you do the work for the latest info.
In the "Full Detail" section (coming in the future) one of the things I will discuss is paint restoration. So if your paint is all swirled up (black bikes are famous for this but only because it shows up on on black), I'm sorry but I just don't have the time to get into it right now.. later.
Best thing to do in the meantime is ride it.
P.S. I've been thinking it over and I think RD GLD has one of the most comfortable looking rides I've ever seen.
