There is a write up in the latest issue of PB .We don't use them up north as we have hands of Granite (inc the ladies).
I used ACF-50 on my previous naked CBF600N as i rode all year round to work and back. It was originally designed for the aircraft industy and is an excellent anti rust treatment, my bike, after 17k and 4 winters looked like new when i sold it. It is simply the best you can get to keep your all year round bike looking like a summer toy.
Cracking run this morning. 100 miles on quiet roads.It started off damp and cold and with a brand new tyre I wasn't exactly flaking it Still after a while it dried up nicely and the tyre got scrubbed in. It started raing an hour after I got home so that made it even sweeter
ACF-50 (Anti-Corrosion Formula) was originally designed to protect aircraft from existing and new corrosion and is now available to motorcyclists. Aviation products have to meet rigorously high standards and ACF-50 not only meets these but has been awarded Aviation approvals - MIL-SPEC 81309 types II and III which means it is 'approved for ferrous and non-ferrous metals, electrical systems and electronic components'. The US Navy carried out tests using ACF-50 on the jets on their Aircraft Carriers. They found that ACF-50 so significantly reduced the corrosion they had previously experienced they now use ACF-50 all the time! It works in that type of harsh environment so imagine how well it's going to protect your bike! When applied ACF-50 forms an 'Active' ultra-thin clear film that will kill any existing corrosion cells and will protect your bike against new corrosion forming. On areas such as switches or under the tank and seat, one application will last up to 12 months. Other more exposed areas will need topping up more regularly. ACF-50 has the ability to 'chemically neutralise road salt' and water will bead on contact and literally bounce off. Ideal for the bike that is used all year round in all weathers, a superb service spray as ACF-50 is also a lubricant and penetrant (without loosening structural attachments) and if you put your bike away for the winter, applying ACF-50 will ensure that moisture will not be allowed to cause any damage! Untreated moisture will creep into cracks and will not freely evaporate - ACF-50 actively ejects moisture from these areas.
First sort of proper ride out today since buying the blade 100 miler. What can I say I absolutely love this bike,started off cold and stopped cold but that didn't spoil the fun,didn't give it fists full just a general ride (honest officer) Cannot wait for the better weather to come
JD has now panicked me. I was thinking of getting some ACF-50, but now I MUST get some whatever it takes! Seriously though, I've been riding for years and am surprised I've never heard of it before. I'm hoping to carry on riding as long as possible throughout the winter, but it's always at the back of my mind what it's doing to the bike. Will be good to try this stuff out. It's great to hear there's a few still getting out for a ride. I'll let you know how I get on with the heated grips I get - not that the northern folk need 'em
oooooooh, proper sunny and 10 degrees tomorrow.....a morning out rather than a cheeky blast on Sundy me thinks.
Hi JG, I should be out after 9 and I'll be heading to chalet cafe and then likely west. I'll probably be meeting another couple of guys at chalet, so be good if your this side of the county and want to meet up? If that could work, pm me and we can rendezvous somewhere. Have a lunch tomorrow so prob out till 12 ish
