detailing a motorbike????

hey guys what kind of dressing or if any dressing would u use on motorbike tires. I dont know if i should even put any on but i want them to look glossy black like the rest of the paint i just spend hours correcting??

 

I wouldn't bother putting any dressing on. Well, you could, just not on the tread obviously...but the sidewall on motorcycle tires is pretty small I don't know that it's make a difference.

 

:yikes:NO TIRE DRESSING ON ANY KIND OF 2 WHEEL VEHICLE. PERIOD....:crasy:

 

I wouldn't. Just clean them really well. It's too much of a hazard.

 

Like Flash Gordon said..Never, never put tire dressing on a bike!! Remember you are leaning over and the contact patch rotates outward as you lean the tire over....get into a treated area and you'll go down faster than a prom date!

 

thats wat i thoght thanx guys i jus wanted to double check

 

That is a hilarious analogy

 

Since your question was answered regarding he tire dressing I would also like to throw out there that you shouldn't put anything on the seats either that would make it slick.

 

I know many people who use dressing on bikes just a very lite coat on seats an tires. not the sloppy joe look that lot do that is when the danger comes from.

 

I highly wouldn't advise a light coat either. Light coat/heavy coat it doesn't matter. It is extremely dangerous to apply anything that adds slickness to either surface of a motorcycle. IIRC, some dressings that are actually dyes contains hardeners that will also jeopardize the safety of the motorcyclist.

 

i understand what your sayin but they do it. an so far have not had problems from what i have heard.
