    Top-of the line sound system! Water proof speaker that come with Ipod
    While many car and bike audio systems have variable speed-related volume adjustment that increases volume the faster you go, this variant of the system also adjusts the EQ. It pumps up the bass as your speed increases because wind noise cancels out low frequencies. So, as you go faster, the sound doesn’t become shrill. It just keeps pumping out hi-fidelity sound.

    reminding myself of 23 carat gold leaf flames


    my client would have opted to any detailer which can complete in 2 days time....and he told me that these detailer will use some kind ofacid (degreaser to get the oxidse out) or even try Autosol Chrome and Metal Polish

    I beg to differ...i has OPTIMUM METAL POLISH ...and etcs....but I am not gonna to let my ego go before me....and so i opted for polish and I had it hand polish for 3 months

    I may not afford to buy a bently or rolls royce but definately I will find time to detail this CVO, it is hand built, limited production, hand painted.....gold paint!!!! it is so premium almost cost USD 100 K to buy it new here!! My buddy whom happen to own this CVO, got some issue and I took my sweet sweet time to detail this ride......ENDED UP 3 MONTHS!!! no machine is design to do Bikes.....esp chrome parts

    I used alot of elbow grease , enduring many many bruises and cuts in my hands especialy countless inbetween my nails....ouchhhhhh
