So bored I cleaned the inside of the turn signal lenses
« on: March 30, 2020, 02:17:26 PM »
This morning decided to wash one of the bikes as it had not had a good bath in months. That lead to drying off with the shop vac and with a little extra time on my hands I though why not do a quick detailing. The lead to body parts coming off cleaning and applying plastic protectant where needed. After several hours of cleaning I noticed the rear turn signals lenses had dirt in them. Out of boredom I took them apart cleaned the lenses, buckets, reflectors and bulbs. That killed another hour :thumb:

I guess tomorrow I'll change the air in the tires then move onto the next bike :shocked:

Next time ya got the lenses off don’t forget t remove the bulbs & give them a bit of di-electric grease or similar goo on the contact area’s . Personally I’ll also unplug spade connectors & goo-up those too , corossion & rust don’t sleep

Maybe you should get a bottle of dry nitrogen for the tires.
