Now i just have to apply the POR15 coating. I bought 2x half pint POR15 cans... but i am not certain it will be enough for the GS-tank. How much did you used for your tank? THX!

    • @pristineprojects4881

      Hard to tell, it depends on how they are painted. Have they been anodized? Powdercoated? Professial paintjob with a 2 component clear coat? Or just a diy, can of paint, spray and pray job? Those 3 first ones I would just let them be. The last one however. That should be easily stripped down with some paint stripper. If you have to use "tools" to get the paint of, I wouldn't start it without disassembling the wheels. It will be a complete nightmare to work around the spokes. I hope this helps a little atleast 😅

    Very good and interesting series of videos. Thanks. My R850gs (exact same bike as the R1100gs) has anodised rims, easily removed with oven cleaner but is nasty stuff and best used outside. Then they polished up like a mirror. The spokes are awful at the hub end and really need replacing with stainless. Best tip I can come up with for nice running is to balance the throttle bodies exactly the same at 4000rpm, and obviously make sure there's play in the throttle cables at idle. It's surprising the difference it makes to vibration at 4000rpm + .

      its a Rupes Ibrid nano long neck. i will see if i can link it in the description! it is really usefull for this kind of things, polishing instruments and everything. i can absolutely recomend it, however it is kind of pricey. powerfull and versatile, it also comes with a dummy battery with a cord, if your doing alot of polishing in a single session.
