chips on swingarm
Hey guys,
I've noticed that there are quite a few stone chips now forming on my swing arm. Is there anything i can use to seal the surface to stop further chipping and rusting?

Re: chips on swingarm
Unless you have changed your bike...or the swingarm on your bike......then it won't rust.....it's alloy!
But, you can protect it. I think companies still make them. Do a search for swingarm protectors and see what you come up with?

Re: chips on swingarm
u could use some contact... i have seen it used to protect ZRX swingarms from chain gunk... simply peel it off and put another strip on...

Chips on the swing arm - I'd say you're not leaning enough. Try wrapping them in foil and tucking them in behind the motor; they'll cook better and won't fall off around corners.

Stupid cheap 'Skinz' for paint and headlights - like clear contact but thicker and doesn't go yellow and farked in the sun.
Cheap too

Skinz film works... from Repco etc. For the swingarm use the 4WD stuff (thicker - like Toorak tractor owners); the thinner stuff's good for where your knees/boots/groin scuff the paint.
