Mike Carpino 2006 Ultra Classic

More than 60 hours of labor went into this motorcycle.

This 2006 Ultra Classic came to me in the same fashion, Cosmetically Neglected ,Unloved & add in a special factor. I am not sure of all the “who , what & why “, But seem to me Harley stopped making the “Plastic parts” out of Fiberglass & started using ABS. around the Millennium.

Now one would thing “Hey no big deal” ,BUT ABS seems to “Off Gas” a sticky by~product that is very difficult to work with. This is not the 1st one, but it will be the last one that get standard Treatment.

If you look closely at the before pictures of the red parts you will see tiny squiggly lines, They are from a dilapidated cover that the fibers are glued to the surface & very difficult to remedy .

Need less to say I was able to with a custom process.

This is the reason will not attempt to put a Nano Ceramic / Hydrophobic coating on.

ALL & ALL bike turned out very nice .
