I was perswaded to go further taking all the seat brackets and corners out to be powder coated Thanks Dave !! ..the aluminum was oxidised .. so i got the parts back today and finished the job .. I also bought new seats for it and a nice cover .. what a difference ..
ive been asked alot how i got it so clean .. I first used simple green .. then went and finished it with (new bike in a can) its a plastic cleaner for motorcycles most bike shops carry it what a difference that made !!!
Have one thing left (I think ) im going to install led strip lights for night fishing on the inside rails ..
what do ya think???
