Royal Enfield Crankcase Polishing

[@jayworthington6831]

I like the InterContinental sticker!

Goddards Glow....been round for donkeys years. Good shit!

[@stephendove5306]

Looking Good ! I've been using "Autosol" aluminium polish & not to happy with the results , will give the "Bowdens" a go ! your bag seems a similar size to the "ALR" universal tailbag I have , which I've fixed on my Interceptor behind the single seat , just enough room ,tucks in behind the tail light .

[@motostralia5563]

Sounds like a good option for the bag 👍 Yep, try the Borden’s and see what you think. It does take out most of the colour without scrubbing, but to get out the nasty marks it does need more vigorous activity.

Have a Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 and absolutely love it. I have been using Autosol with varying degrees of success. Will give the Bowdens metal polish a go since I pretty much use everything else of theirs on my bike. Also share your passion for “Apple Juice”. What’s your favourite?

[@motostralia5563]

Hi Cameron, I’m so pleased you love you’re GT, they’re so good 👍 Yeah, I found Borden’s to work well, I hope it works for you. Regarding the apple juice… ATM, I’m liking the Irish variety, also peated apples. Individually, or the with with just a dash of peated 😃 Thanks for watching. Cheers, Len

Bowdens, d’oh 🤦‍♂️

[@crupert23225]

Great job!

[@nrich5127]

After those cases are all polished up , how about applying some wax product to protect the surface ?

[@motostralia5563]

Hi, nrich51. I’ve never heard of a product that can do that. Can you recommend one? Cheers, Len

I painted engine casing logo's in about 3weeks of ownership.

[@ruahinesrider]

2000-3000 wet & dry sandpaper lightly sanded then polished like in Stu Fillingham video.Also I seen guy's use scrunched up tinfoil on casings with Autosul & it seemed to work well.

Thank, I didn't know about bowdens. Been using maquires metal on my bakers express and quite satisfied with it. Ps, drop me a line if you're south of syd and feel like catching up..

[@motostralia5563]

Hi, Mark. Yes, Maquires is also a good product. I’ve used it in the past and I’m pleased it works for you. I really like the colour of the Bakers Express - good choice. It’s difficult to organise rides on this KZbin forum, but I would like to contact and catch up somehow if possible. Take care and go well. Len

How did you do the black royal enfield Inlay?

[@motostralia5563]

Hi Steven, thanks for subscribing to the channel. After I finished finished painting the inlay on Mr. Black I found a KZbin video by Stuart Fillingham where he details how he did the inlay painting on his bike. It’s a well-produced and comprehensive guide covering all the steps and materials you will need to do the job. Stuart’s procedure is pretty much the same as I used to paint my engine cases. However, I wish I had found it before I started - it would have saved me quite some time. Here’s a link to the video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGeommiZpt-Zqc0 If the link doesn’t work, search for “Royal Enfield Red letter day”, that should take you there. The video will give you far more information than I could give in this forum - I hope it helps. All the best with your project. Ride well 👍 Cheers, Len

@@motostralia5563 Thanks Len , just got my 650 gt continental with a chrome tank , iam assuming you followed the second version of his instructions

[@motostralia5563]

@@femalefishingadventures Hi Steven, I’m not sure which version I saw after I did my painting. I’m pretty sure it was the link I posted. Continental GT + chrome tank = beautiful 😁 Enjoy 👍 Len

[@ruahinesrider]

You can paint them with black brake caliper spray paint too that's what I did & if you type in how to paint engine casings on Interceptor/Gt.
