Title: a black motor
Post by: grog on Thursday, 23 February 2017, 08:44 PM
anyone want their motor to look as black as perfect. i did. i got some s100. maybe the best thing ive ever bought for my bike. 1/2 a can was all that was needed. maybe 10 th ks since applied. still beautiful. trust me on this one, no more scrubbing, applying anything else. just works. even front of motor still perfect, all that road grime grey colour gone. but wait theres more, sorry there isnt, no steak knives with it. http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/30194/i/s100-engine-brightener

I use S100 as well.... great stuff!  But that price seems way over the odds... maybe it's different stuff?

Are you sure its S100 and not SDoc 100 stuff Seth, as there is a difference.... (mind you SDoc100 is good gear as well!)

Just fyi  (and dare I even mention this on a Suzuki site), Harley Davidson do (what I think) is the same stuff packaged in H-D cans and available at H-D dealers across the UK. Also available on eBay

Just a thought...............does exactly the same thing   :onya:

Awesome stuff. I do mine about once a year.
Brings it up like new and the dirt doesn't seem to stick to it.
One can does about 3 applications and I don't use it sparingly.

Hey guys,

For those of us in the UK, Is this not the same stuff? http://www.grizzlyscustombikes.co.uk/s100-engine-brightner.html

I was going to buy a can for my bike to be honest.

Cheers.

The description does read the same - so it probably is. At that price, worth a try I'd say

Very Interested in this product (or others like it).
Especially with the misting spray nozzle.

I have tried pressure can VHT Barrel Black paint (there are similar VHT can's), yeah OK but difficult to apply within fins etc as a smooth layer.

Would like to see photos of someone who has used the products described above.

Hi Dog,
I've used plasticote BBQ paint and I would highly recommend it, easy to apply and very forgiving. I did mine a couple of thousand miles ago and so far holding up perfectly.
I've done link and down pipes as well as the engine. Some Black  vht paint can look grey but this is a good Black 👍
Title: Re: a black motor
Post by: SheepDog on Wednesday, 26 July 2017, 06:55 PM

Looks good Red.

I've attached a photo of the engine block with the VHT paint job as well as the triple clamps. I'm happy but was easy to get to all corners.

But the engine head is filled with difficult spaces around the spark plugs and inlets and exhaust ports. I've tried one with the VHT spray but f*#ked it up. The photo shows it stripped back to basic condition again for take two. I don't want to strip it back again (fiddly and painful job).

That's why I was interested in the misting spray nozzle.

Ah, you are doing a proper job! I didnt remove the lump, just down pipes for access, the Plasti cote does have a filter nozzle though as here:
