My baby got all new front end parts today
Motorcycle batteries without trickle charger last about 1-1.5 years. With trickle charger 6-8 years. Well worth the $28 (now $40) Battery Tender Junior.Put the trickle charger back on my avy ... as it has sat a few months since last driven.
Catching up on a few things and waiting for Fall before back onto outside projects and HD runs.
PS these things are worth the price if you figure a new battery is $100+ and can die within a year or so if not used and left to bleed off in your truck.... Having this Trickle keeps her tip top and should last a long time....
Excellent job! Looks like new.Decided it was time to clean up my winter rims since time to replace tires and the salt has done a number on the clear coat over the years. Here is before and after.
I got Klean-Strip Premium Stripper from walmart to remove what clear coat was left. I then used the cheap Harbor Freight sand blast gun to get the corrosion off. Then sprayed with self etch primer. Wanted to use Duplicolor charcoal wheel paint since I had used that in the past on my daughters jeep wheels, but nobody had any in stock near me. So I picked up some Krylon Dark Metallic instead because the cap of the can looked close to the Duplicolor. It came out darker than the Duplicolor wheel paint but I like it. I used satin black on the back and on the edges of the holes. Used Duplicolor Clear wheel paint to clear coat it all. Waiting for full cure and will ceramic coat them.Excellent job! Looks like new.
What did you use to strip and then what did you use to coat?
I need to do mine, they are real bad.
Thanks.
Doing DTRL “turn signal” wig-wagAnyone recognize this mod in progress?
I decided to add ditch lights to the Av today. Quick install. The mounts, lights, and wiring harness was under 100 bucks and only took about 2 hours start to finish to get done.
Post a picture at night when you have time, I have been looking for those lights.
