I've had a couple of black cars, but never a black bike. You can't beat black when it's clean and shiny, but it's just too difficult to keep it that way.

That's sure a beautiful bike ya got there though.

Is there any reason why Black Box can't be used on other colors?

Looks great. Funny how high our standards are for our bikes. I have not even wiped mine down in about a month (been busy, so riding only) and had a wife's friend stay with us for a few days last week......"Beautiful bike, it's so clean it looks like it has never been ridden." Meanwhile I am looking at it thinking, 'Damn, I really need to clean this thing.' Of course the chick (recently divorced ) wanted to go for a 'ride'.........

Wife was quick to answer that one, "He does not ride with passengers." Heard that while looking for my stock seat........doh!

Looks awesome! I'll bring my black rocker over for you to do next...LOL! Nice wheels! I use the black box kit and a auto body buddy of mine, gives it the once over a couple of years like you did. Makes a huge improvement.

I've buffed 150 cars and I NEVER had a problem.....until last week. The bodyshop guy said a clear coat is good for 3-4 agressive buffs before it COULD fail.
