          I wash myself and use waxpol vinyl and leather polish on the full bike.... Or through service center i ask them to use liquid wax... Don't ever use dry wax on Matt color motorcycle or on any fiber part....
          Hi aditya

          You apply this same polish on the whole bike means on each and every part of the bike or only for the dashboard..What about the matte paint area..I own a Mars Orange hornet..and I am also looking for some good polish.please advise.

          Thanks,

            If you wax or apply polish for glossy paint on matte painted surface the very purpose of buying a matte painted bike will be defeated. You can have some help from Amazon like cleanser/ wash. I have the striking Green version and I have not applied any polish on my bike till now(date of purchase 29/09/2016) and it is absolutely fine. You can google to know why matte painted surface should not be polished for shine.

              Yeah i do on the whole bike... I use it on every part... Matte color really feels good on metallic surfaces but hornet being fiber body doesn't have pure matte color like apache 200 or Thunderbird...
              Usually paint protectors are used in matte but since it wasn't available i use this...

                Hey guys just installed this new headlight led bulb... Bought it from AliExpress at around 925rs with AliExpress standard shipping... The bulb has 5 cob led chips...3 for low beam remaining 2 for high beam... In high beam all 5 beam are working... Though there is no cutoff for high beam so little light from low beam seeps into high beam area making it difficult to hudge between high and low ... It appears as if there is more light in high beam... But the lights are absolutely bomb.... Wayyy better than halogen... Though the shape of reflector is bad so any light won't be giving it's full potential... The low beam works at 18 watt and high at 35 watt...
                Had to change the wiring setup from AC to DC... I don't know how as mechanic did it... But i think he cut off the wiring from AC and connected it to DC wire coming for flash switch which runs on battery... Also this led has little fan behind it as led produce lot of heat...
                Here is the link if anyone wants to purchase it.. It'll be shipped from China and usually reached in 20 days..

                    Looks cool! How's low+pass beam performance?

                    Yes reflector is real pain whenever installing new light. Whatever you do, it won't give full light. That's why I installed LED auxiliary 14W each. Total 28W. Without changing any wiring in bike..

                      Low beam + pass switch work perfectly....
                      If the design was square, oval, or round the light reflection would have been better... Or like the reflecror from 200ns or apache series..

                          It's all your preference now. I feel Full Synthetic give smoother ride and grunt.
                          Having used Motul 300v and Honda Throttle , I will choose Honda throttle. I feel HondaFS give better throttle response and grunt noise.

                                It is also available in many shops offline. RTD is brand in most of the cases.
