I'm getting some good results after just a few soaks of petroleum jelly. It's not a miracle fix but it's bringing the black back enough that it'll...
Thanks all! As Waylander says it doesn't look like the honey goo is available here sadly, but it's positive to hear there are ways to revive them...
I got the front fairing frame installed and think the wiring is now pretty much complete. The switchgear is pretty worn out and doesn't look great...
I've had a few weeks away from the bike with work but my Dad has got quite a bit done. The main bulk of the wiring is routed through the frame,...
