Getting a new 06

[HRJR]

Congratulations on the soon to be bike and welcome to the board!

Some guys swap out the pegs for the Buell pegs to get a little more leg room.  A thread (one of many) on the mod can be found .

When I get it home from the dealer I am going to immediatly wash it and put about 3-4 coats of Meguires NXT wax on it...and then just wash it once everyweek and put a new coat of wax on it once a month...

This is actually counter-productive. Meg's NXT has cleaners in it, so each layer will remove the previously applied layer. If you want to layer things, try using a pure sealant (Zaino, Wolfgang, Klasse, Poorboy's, etc.) or a pure carnauba wax (made by many different manufacturers, but all the same).

OO I never knew that! So maybe I will apply only one coat of NXT and just do it more often...

I do have zaino wax...so maybe I will use that...

Yeah DeeP creek....I may have to call Romney cycles and see what they can do...

Are D&Ds hi-mounts or low mounts? and they are just slipons right?

Mount the same as stock cans (to my knowledge) and yes they are just slip-ons.

 

[BigBoyGSX]

Are the D&D slip ons polished aluminum or Brushed? Anyone have pics? thanks!

Zaino will be a LOT more durable than NXT will, so I'd definitely go that route. I'd basically put about three or four coats of Zaino sealant on the bike (at least 24 hours between each coat), and then after that, you should be able to do quick cleanups with just a good quick detailer (designed for use with sealants and not carnauba waxes, of course).

congrats on your purchase and welcome to the forum.

I can certinaly understand keeping the busa clean but this sure is a lot easier after that first coat of wax. Just plain great products.
