Re: Re-Painting Honda Elite - Help!

A good degreaser, tack cloth, and no dust environment is essential. Also 1500 and 2000 sandpaper for wetsanding the clear before rubbing compound, then polish for better results. Wait like maybe a week before sanding clear and polishing.

staggering weights

Anyone know if staggering the variator weights is bad for your bike in any way? Anyone had success with this method over the regular way? Thanks
