Re: Sports Bike Detailing
It is a lot different. I think it's more fun, personally. I just detailed two bikes for someone. One of them was a black Honda 599 (somewhat of a naked bike). I used #80 by hand on it to remove the swirls, then put on a coat of #26 and it ended up looking very nice, IMO. It's fun to do, because, even though you'll probably have to do it by hand, it's such a small amount of paint to do you probably won't get tired.
The time-consuming part of detailing a bike (IMO) is drying it off and polishing any chrome. There are so many crevices, it takes a while to dry it off, and the crevices also make it take a while to detail the chrome. Since it's a sport bike, though, you won't have to worry about chrome probably. Let us know how it went!
