Bonkers37 asked:

I have a small area (about 1×2 inches) that got scuffed up deep to the abs plastic on my motorcycle fairing which i would like to fix. Is it possible for me to paint the area by taping off and working on the damaged area? If so, what is the procedure and will it be able to blend into the original paint job if done so correctly?

Hello Everyone! I guess there are many among you who face continuous problems with the overhead cams or with a leaking oil seal and the mechanic drives you nuts. Thus came the concept of a motorcycle blog; apart from the usual user interactions, what else would u like to see there?

Rachael asked:

This might be a stupid question, but I was just wondering if an auto customization place that paints cars would also paint a motorcycle. And if so, how much would it cost?
It would be the tank, front fender fairing, and the two fairings on each side. Rims and frame would stay as is. So I would be removing and just dropping the stuff off.

Daniel S asked:

I left my motorcycle battery on the concrete floor in my garage for months and it went bad. My mechanic buddy working on my bike said that was a well known no-no but didn’t know the prinicple behind it. In the end, we couldn’t get another charge into the battery.

How exactly does a floor kill the battery like that?

SV asked:

Hi all. What is the best way to install auxiliary lights (2 driving t light at both sides) to motorcycle? Is it OK to connect directly to high beam or low beam circuit (need to replace with more Amper fuse if you this way), or open a new circuit for auxiliary lights? If open new circuit, how to do it? Thanks all.

He needs a home study course, preferably on-line, to become a qualified motorcycle electrician. We have a trike he can woork on if he needs to practice! His job’s irregular hours means evening classes are out of the question. Mechanics are easy to fidn, but there is a sever shortage of electrical engineers for motorbike. Any/all suggestions welcome. Many thanks.
