Default 2 products worth mentioning

Just wanted to mention two products that I recently used only because their results astounded me....Doc Bailey's black leather/vinyl restorer
/conditioner. My leather bags and 95 stock Heritage seat now look brand new....Simply wipe on and bingo bango! I also used it on a vintage leather trunk bag that I recently purchased. It was rough but oh so cool....thing looks almost brand new now too! And Novus #2 fine plastic scratch remover.....thanks CB. Found an old bottle of it in the garage from years ago that I had never used?? Anyhow, I was amazed that it removed some pretty severe flaws from my windshield and it too looks brand new now. Hope this helps someone out there trying to keep their evo looking good, just like me.

What a timely post sir! My bags are in need of some TLC.....and the shield looks like somebody cleaned it with an SOS pad......

Doc Baileys. I wonder if I can get that at Oreillys?

Got mine off e-bay. Tiny bottle, but it goes a long. Use it sparingly....came with buffing rag and foam applicator. Black dye for color, other ingredients to preserve and protect. If your bags aren't too muffed up, I think you will be very pleased with the results.

Excellent!!!! They will set that color off for sure...change the whole look of the bike. Should've had him deduct a few dollars for having put new black walls on it. Lol

I have never understood getting tires for looks.
I get them for grip and handling.
To me that is way more important!

I use Doc Bailey's also. It's magic, just let it dry over night and buff it out with a clean towel in the morning or it WILL transfer black. Novus is the only thing that touches my window. Doc Bailey's can be purchased through JP Cycles for sure.

I still can't believe no one is talking about S100. Best stuff out there.
